Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Grill the Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on two of the patties and a slice of pepper jack cheese on the other two. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until desired doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. 7

    Add Sauces

    Spread a generous amount of roasted garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked patties with cheese on top.

  3. 8

    Add Bacon

    Top each patty with two slices of crispy bacon.

  4. 9

    Finish with BBQ Sauce

    Drizzle BBQ sauce over the bacon, then place the top half of the bun on each burger.
