Grilled Texas Burgers

2lbs ground hamburger

8 frozen onion rings (or homemade)

8 slices bacon

8 tablespoons BBQ sauce (your choice)

4 slices cheddar cheese

4 hamburger buns


Deep fry or bake onion rings according to package directions (if deep drying drain on paper towels). Set aside.

Fry bacon until crispy, drain on paper towels and set aside.

Shape ground burger into 4 patties and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Lightly grease grill grates and heat grill to medium-high heat.

Cook hamburger patties until they have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees. 

Within the last few minutes of cooking top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese. 

Close the grill to hold the heat and melt the cheese slices.

Place the hamburger buns halves onto the grill and cook on the underside until lightly browned.

Remove burgers from the grill and spread BBQ sauce onto both halves of each bun. 

Top with a hamburger patty, 2 slices of bacon, and 2 onion rings. 

Enjoy
