Servings: 8 burgers
Calories: 622kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Simply Nature Organic Grass Fed Ground Beef
- 8 ounce Appleton Farms Thick Sliced Bacon, diced
- 1-3 whole fresh jalapeños, grated
- 1 tablespoon Stonemill Amazing Burger Grill Seasoning
- 8 whole Specially Selected Brioche Buns
- 8 slices Happy Farms Preferred Habanero Jack Cheese (or Extra Sharp Cheddar)
- ½ cup Burman's Barbecue Sauce - Texas Style
- 1 cup Chef's Cupboard French Fried Onions
- 8 leaves butter lettuce
- 8-16 slices tomato
- 1 cup sliced dill pickles
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Set out a large bowl. Add the ground beef, diced bacon, grated jalapeños, and Burger Grill Seasoning. Mix by hand until well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Press each portion into a patty slightly wider than the buns.
- Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side. The insides can be slightly pink in the middle, but not medium-rare because of the bacon. The moment the burgers come off the grill, place a slice of cheese over the top of each patty, so they start to melt.
- Stack the burgers on the buns with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, barbecue sauce, and fried onions on top. Serve warm.

Notes
Store any leftover spicy bacon burger patties separate from the other ingredients in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: After grilling let the burgers cool completely before wrapping each one in a layer of plastic wrap. Place all of the patties in an airtight ziploc bag together and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the burgers overnight in the fridge.
To Reheat: Wrap the patties individual in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for just a few seconds to reheat.
