Ingredients
- 16 ounces 80/20 ground beef
- 16 ounces Ground Wagyu or Ground Brisket or Ground Chuck
- spreadable cheese
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 onion sliced and grilled, or diced
- lettuce Chopped or shredded
- tortilla chips gently broken
- 4 hamburger buns Preferably potato buns or bolillo
Instructions
- Mix the hamburger and ground wagyu with about 1 tablespoon of Johnny's seasoning. Gently for into four ½ pound patties.
- To make the bacon patty you will need 12 ounces of your favorite thick cut bacon. Cut the bacon strips in half and boil for 30 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, cool and rough chop. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Heat a flattop grill to 375 degrees. Fry the bacon patties for 3 minutes per side, or until nice and crispy. A bacon press helps a lot to cook the bacon evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the burger patties for 3 minutes per side then top with cheese and cook until the meat has reached desired temp and the cheese is melted.
- Warm the beans in a small pot on the stove.
- On the top bun, spread an even layer of refried beans and top with the broken corn chips.
- On the bottom bun add the lettuce, tomato, bacon patty, and then the burger patty. Top with the grilled onions and then the top bun.
- Enjoy with a side of fries or tots.
