INGREDIENTS
For the Burger Patties:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier patties)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
For the Toppings:
8 slices of bacon, cooked
4 slices of cheddar cheese
4 onion rings (store-bought or homemade)
2 sesame seed burger buns
Lettuce
Tomato slices
¼ cup mayo
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
For the Onion Rings: (If making homemade)
1 large onion, sliced into rings
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Burger Patties:
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Cook the Bacon:
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Make the Onion Rings (if homemade):
Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer. Dredge the soaked onion rings in the flour mixture, then fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Burger:
Toast the sesame seed buns and spread a layer of mayo on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheese, a second patty, crispy bacon slices, and an onion ring on top. Drizzle BBQ sauce and add the top bun.
Serve:
