1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into 1/3 lb burger patties.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
4
Grill the Patties
In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
5
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with cheddar cheese and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

6
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the brioche buns on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown.
7
Add BBQ Sauce
Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
8
Layer the Burger
Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top of the BBQ sauce. Add two slices of crispy bacon and a handful of crispy onion straws.
9
Complete the Burger
Top with the other half of the toasted brioche bun. Serve immediately.
