Inspired by the classic sandwich, these decadent burgers feature fluffy challah buns layered with our dry-aged ground beef, crispy bacon, melty smoked gouda, peppery arugula, and a savory tomato jam that we’re making by cooking fresh tomatoes with sugar and a touch of red pepper flakes for just a hint of heat.

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the tomatoes. Halve, peel, and small dice the onion(s). Thinly slice the gouda. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges. Halve the buns. Place the arugula in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Transfer the potato wedges to a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 27 to 29 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the softened butter; toss to combine.
Meanwhile, line a separate sheet pan with foil. Place the bacon on the foil; arrange in an even layer. Roast 12 to 16 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved tomatoes and diced onion(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sugar, vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), 1/4 cup of water (or 1/2 cup for 4 servings), and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and pressing down on the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are broken down and the liquid is slightly reduced. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
Place the beef in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to incorporate. Form the mixture into 2 patties (or 4 for 4 servings), about ½-inch thick. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter) and top with the sliced gouda. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.
Working in batches if necessary, add the halved buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond. Toast on medium-high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, tomato jam, cooked patties, cooked bacon, and dressed arugula. Serve the burgers with the finished potatoes. Enjoy!
