1
Prepare the Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pecan smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Make the Burger Patty
In a bowl, form the ground beef into two equal patties, season with salt and pepper, and make a small indentation in the center of each patty.
4
Cook the Burger Patty
In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Add a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
5
Prepare the Bun
Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or grill.
6
Assemble the Burger
Spread the aioli on the bottom bun. Add the lettuce, cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon slices, sliced tomato, onion rings, and avocado slices. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
