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.
