1
Mix the Ground Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4
Sauté the Onions
In the same skillet with bacon grease, add 1 medium onion, sliced. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are caramelized and tender.

5
Grill the Patties
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
6
Add Cheese and BBQ Sauce
After flipping, place a slice of jack cheese on each patty, and brush ¼ cup of BBQ sauce on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

7
Toast the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
8
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the burger patty with melted cheese and BBQ sauce. Top with sautéed onions and crispy bacon. Finish with the top half of the bun.
