Preheat the oven to 375°F and place 4 strips of bacon on a sheet tray.

Cook the bacon in the oven until crispy, flipping occasionally.

Slice the onion into thin strips and sauté in a sauté pan with a knob of butter and a glug of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Season the onions with salt and cook until they start to brown, then lower the heat to caramelize them slowly.

While the onions cook, check the bacon and flip it to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the burger blend by grinding 20 oz of ground beef, 10 oz of short rib, and 10 oz of veal, along with 6 oz of extracted bone marrow.

Chill the meat mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes before grinding to keep the fat from melting.

Grind the meat mixture using a KitchenAid grinder, alternating between the different meats.

Form the ground meat into 10 oz patties, slightly larger than the burger buns, and make a subtle indentation in the center.

Prepare a cheese sauce with 4 oz of cheddar cheese, 4 oz of American cheese, milk, and Dijon mustard.

Chop chives for garnish and set aside until ready to use.
