BBQ WESTERN BACON BEER CAN BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (300 degrees F). Leave one side of the grill off for indirect heat.
• Separate the ground chuck into 4 equal balls (about 6 ounces each). Wrap the beer can with aluminum foil and spray with a bit of cooking spray. Firmly press the bottom of the can into one of the balls, forming a "meat bowl." Gently slide out the can, then seal any cracks in the meat and make sure the sides of the bowl are even. Repeat with the remaining balls.
• Place a slice of Cheddar in each meat bowl, followed by about a tablespoon of barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup of the sauteed mushrooms, some of the crispy crumbled bacon, 2 more slices of cheese and 4 jalapeno slices.
• Place the burgers on the indirect heat side of the grill, close the lid and grill until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F and the cheese is bubbly and gooey, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Place the burgers on the onion rolls, eat and enjoy!

STUFFED BACON-CHEDDAR BBQ BURGER

Steps:

• Combine ground round, ground chuck, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, combine the coarsely shredded sharp cheddar and cooked bacon pieces.
• Let bacon and cheese mixture sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to get soft.
• Then, shape mixture into balls (for however many burgers you would like to make). Form 2 patties of meat and place one cheese/bacon ball in between them.
• Pinch the sides together to seal in cheese ball. Gently press formed patty, to spread out cheese ball. Continue until all patties are formed.
• Cook burgers on grill over medium flame for about 7 minutes on each side.
• While burgers are grilling, slice sweet Vidalia onions and sauté them in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter. Once onions become translucent (about 4 minutes), add some sweet barbecue sauce.
• Flip burgers, and baste the cooked side of the patties with the same sweet barbecue sauce used in the onions.
• After about 7 minutes longer, the burger should be done (these are big thick burgers and may take longer to grill to your liking).
• Baste again with sweet barbecue sauce before removing from grill.
• Butter hamburger buns and place on top rack of grill for several minutes, until toasted.
• To build burger, take toasted bun, add patty, and top with smothered barbecue onions. You can add tomato or lettuce, if you'd like, but the flavors are great without them.

BACON IN THE BURGER, SMOKY GOUDA AND SPICY BBQ MAYO

Steps:

• Sauce -- Simply mix in a small bowl or measuring cup, the BBQ sauce, mayo, honey and chipolte, refrigerate - Done!
• Burgers -- Now, I like to use the food processor if you have one. First for the breadcrumbs, next the onion, and then the bacon. But if you don't have one, you can hand chop or grate the ingredients. Use what you have. They still turn out great.
• Bread Crumbs - 1 slice of whole wheat or any bread you have on hand. It will be approximately 1/2 cup. Either pulse in the food processor or fine chop.
• Onions - 1 small onion. You can grate it by hand. Or use the food processor. It should be about 1/2 cup.
• Bacon - Freeze. If you freeze the bacon it is so much easier to work with. NOT rock hard, just 15-20 minutes is all. Dice the bacon as fine as you can. Or you can use the food processor.
• Burger -- Mix the bread crumbs, onions, worcestershire, BBQ sauce, and grill seasoning until well combined. Then add in the bacon, ground beef and turkey, and mix lightly. Don't over mix. Form 6 patties and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (wax paper or foil) and just freeze; my trick for 10-15 minutes. It just firms them up quickly and makes them easier to cook.
• Cooking -- I like to use my grill pan, but you can use a saute pan as well. Bring to medium high heat add your burgers. They will take about 6-8 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook about 5 more minutes. You want to completely cook them because of the bacon. Top with the smoky gouda, remove from the heat and cover. The heat from the pan will melt the cheese in just a couple of minutes.
• Onions -- As the burgers cook, start the onions. In a small saute pan, add the butter, honey, onions, adobo sauce, salt and pepper, and cook on medium high heat. They will take about 8-10 minutes until tender. Just stir now and then and you can reduce to medium after they have cooked a couple of minutes. Just let them simmer until tender.
• Serving -- Rolls, now I like to toast mine, but that is personal taste - you can if you want. Spread your bottom burger bun with some of the spicy mayo, then top with the burger, next -- some of the onions, lettuce, and (optional tomato), and finish it off with the top bun, also slathered with the spicy BBQ mayo. ENJOY!
