Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cook the smoked bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Make the Beef Patty

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked bacon (chopped), Southwest seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the burger buns.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

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

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Place the cooked patties on the bottom bun, top with sliced red onion, then cover with the top bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Diablo Burger immediately with your choice of sides.
