Burger Components

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, and prepare the fried onions. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Add the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar cheese on each patty and close the lid to melt the cheese.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly browned.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of famous mustard sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Place the patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the crispy bacon, fried onions, lettuce, and tomato. Drizzle with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
