Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 pound 85/15 ground beef
- seasoning salt I like Johnny's
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 red onion sliced
- green leaf lettuce
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat your outdoor grill.
- Cook bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. About 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
- Portion the ground beef into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then gently press into patties. (Note: The more fat the meat has, the more the patties will shrink so you want to make sure to form these a little bit larger than the size you want.) Sprinkle each patty with seasoning salt.
- Cook burgers over medium heat. About 4-5 minutes per side for medium-well. At the last minute, place cheese slices on top. Cook until cheese melts slightly. (Note: You can also toast the hamburger buns at this point if you like.)
- To assemble the hamburger, place hamburger on bottom of bun, place red onion rings and lettuce on top. Spread guacamole on top bun and place on top. Serve.
Notes
Another tip for this, if you, like me, sometimes find raw red onions a little over powering, you can soak them in cold water for about 20 minutes before serving. It helps cut back the bite the onions have. Enjoy!
