Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal parts and form each into an 8 oz. patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 4

    Cook Patty

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Preparing Toppings

  1. 6

    Fry Onion Straws

    Slice the onion into thin strips. In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry the onion strips until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 7

    Prepare Sauce

    In a small bowl, measure out the Southwest chipotle sauce.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 8

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on a skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 9

    Layer the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by crispy bacon, onion straws, and a slice of tomato. Drizzle with Southwest chipotle sauce.

  3. 10

    Finish Assembling

    Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
