Sous Vide Cheesy Bacony Groovy Burger
Serving up some of Dallas/Fort Worth's best sous vide eats, Nick Roush is one of our favorite #anovafoodnerds! Constantly cranking out delicious food with the aid of Anova, and sharing his best recipes with all of us!
If you want a super cheesy, bacony sous vide burger then this is your jam. Prepping ahead of time makes everything come together in a few minutes. After I got about half way through this I realized it needed some more acid, so I added some pickled peppers. So depending on how meaty and cheesy you like it, you might consider adding some sort of pickle to this recipe.
