Thursday, June 29, 2006

Bacon BBQ cheddar cheeseburger

1/2 lb ground sirloin

1/2 lb ground chuck

1/2 lb Hickory bacon

BBQ sauce (mixed in with meat and topped to finish)

1/2 cup shredded or minced onions

Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)

1 cup mayo

1 tablespoon Cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon Cumin

Honey bun

Fry bacon. Drain and set aside.

Mix meat with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce and onions. Form patties. Set in refrigerator for at least an hour.

Mix mayo cayenne and cumin. Return to fridge.

Grill burgers on high heat about five minutes each side, depending on thickness. Move off direct heat and cook another five minutes on each side.

Optional: You may brush the patties with BBQ sauce, but only in the latter stages of cooking, as the sugar in the BBQ sauce can burn quickly.

Grill honey bun spread with butter or mayo. About one minute per side on direct heat.

Place bacon on burger patty while on grill. Add cheddar cheese and allow to melt.

Serve with red onions and dress buns with southwest mayo. Lettuce and tomato are optional.

Have fun
