Guy Fieri's "Inside Out" Burger with Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup

Food Network star Guy Fieri probably has the best job in the world. In his show Diners, drive-ins and dives, Fieri gets to travel the country sampling the best, greasiest comfort food the 50 states have to offer.

But he's also got some skills in the kitchen, here's his recipe for an inside out (read two huge patties with ingredients sandwiched in between) burger with Worcestershire tomato ketchup. Via foodnetwork.com:



Ingredients:

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1/2 cup minced red onions
3 tablespoons fresh uncooked chorizo, out of casing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds ground chuck, 80/20 mix
1/2 pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced, about 8 slices
4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted


Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
8 Roma tomatoes, skinned, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch allspice
Pinch celery salt
Pinch mustard seed

In medium saute pan over medium heat, add oil and onions. Cook until brown and caramelized. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for a few minutes, just to soften the vegetables. Then add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.

You can either serve the ketchup chunky or puree it in a blender first and serve it smooth.


Directions:

In a medium pan over medium to high heat, add bacon and onions, cook until the bacon is rendered but not crisp. Add the chorizo and cook until done. Remove the bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.

Divide ground chuck into eight equal parts. Form into a loose ball, and create 4-inch patties. Layer one piece of cheese onto the center of one patty. Top with 1/4 bacon mixture, another slice of cheese, then add another patty on top and gently seal edges and form into a patty, about four inches wide and one and a half inches high. Repeat with the remaining patties to make a total of four large patties.

Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Place all four patties in the pan and cook for three to four minutes on 1 side, then gently turn over and cook for another three to four minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and pop it in a 250-degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven, place onto rolls and serve with Worcestershire tomato ketchup.

If you're too lazy to read the instructions, you can just go ahead and watch Fieri as he makes his burger recipe:
