Cheese & Bacon

Cook Bacon and Assemble
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hickory smoked bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Once the burger is cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt slightly.
Onion Straws

Make the Onion Straws
Slice the large onion into thin rings. In a bowl, combine buttermilk with salt and black pepper. Soak the onion rings in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes. Dredge the soaked onion rings in flour, ensuring they are well coated. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare BBQ Sauce
If using pre-made Bucktown Stout BBQ sauce, simply have it ready to use. If making from scratch, combine stout beer with ketchup, brown sugar, and spices in a saucepan and simmer until thickened.

Assemble The Wickedest Burger
To assemble, place the brioche bun on a plate. Add the cooked steakburger patty topped with melted cheddar cheese, followed by a generous portion of smoked pulled pork. Place two crispy bacon slices on top and finish with a handful of crispy onion straws. Drizzle with Bucktown Stout BBQ sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
