Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burgers

    Heat oil in a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover until melted.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place the burger patty with melted cheese, add crispy onions, a slice of bacon, and drizzle with sweet BBQ sauce. Top with house coleslaw and the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
