When I saw the Bill Murray Burger recipe (also known as the Bill U Murray Me Burger) posted on Pornburger, I just had to try to duplicate it home. What makes this gourmet burger special is the egg yolk and cheese tucked neatly in the center of the burger — sort of like a Juicy Lucy on steroids!
2egg yolksraw for "sunny side" style, or cooked Sous Vide for a softer yolk
4tablespoonsgrated cheddar cheese
Smoky Thousand Island Dressing:
1/2cupmayonnaise
1/4cupketchup
1tablespoondill relish
1tablespoonMelinda's Fire Roasted Garlic Pepper Sauceor Chipotle Tabasco Sauce, or more if desired
To Build Burgers:
4rings of sliced red oniondrizzled with olive oil
4slicesfresh Romaine lettuce
10-15pickled jalapeño slices
6slicesapplewood smoked baconfried
4-8sliceshomegrown tomatoes
2poppy seed hamburger buns
Instructions
Season beef with Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Mix well to incorporate seasonings.
Remove from bowl and form into two patties.
Remove about 1/3rd from each patty. Form little bowls in each patty, add one egg yolk to egg patty, and grated cheddar cheese. Top with more ground beef and pinch to seal edges carefully.
Place patties in their own Sous Vide bags and seal on "dry" and "gentle" setting.
Cook in the Sous Vide Supreme at 140 F for one hour. Remove from water bath and open packets.
On a grill preheated to high, grill onions and sear burgers about 1 minute on each side, just to get grill marks.
To build the burger, place smoky thousand island on a poppy seed bun, coating generously. Add fresh Romaine lettuce leaves, pickled sliced jalapeño rings, 3 slices of fried applewood smoked bacon, the sous vide burger, 4 slices of fresh tomato, and charred red onion slices. Top with the bun and enjoy!

Notes
To cook sous vide eggs, place them in the Sous Vide Supreme for 15 minutes at 167 F. Remove immediately, discard whites, and reserve yolks for burgers.
