Carl JR Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Ingredients

• 1/4 lb beef patties

• Bulls Eye Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce

• 2 slices bacon per burger

• 1 slice American cheese per burger

• frozen onion rings

• sesame seed hamburger bun

Preparation

• Form the ground beef into a flat burger the same diameter as the bun. It's best to pre-make your burger and store it in the freezer.

• Preheat a clean barbecue to medium grilling heat. Otherwise these can be cooked in a cast iron skillet.

• Bake the onion rings in the oven according to the directions on the package.

• Grill the faces of the top and bottom bun in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat.  Set aside, keep warm.

• Cook the bacon slices in the pan.

• Season the burger and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until done.

• Spread 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce on the faces of each bun, top and bottom.

• Place three onion rings on the sauce on the bottom bun. Next stack the burger, then the cheese and the 2 bacon slices, crossed over each other.

• Top off the sandwich with the top bun. 

Serve with baked beans and more onion rings.
