1
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a half-pound patty, making a slight indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
4
Prepare the Onion Straws
If using store-bought onion straws, simply set them aside. If making fresh, slice onions thinly, dip in flour, and fry until golden brown.

5
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each burger bun, place the cooked burger patty. Top with a generous portion of smoked brisket, drizzle BBQ sauce over it, add the crispy bacon, and finish with a handful of onion straws. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
