2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons chipotle in adobo paste, puréed
2 tablespoons cider or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 slices bacon, 4 slices finely chopped
A drizzle of EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 jalapeño peppers, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 tablespoon cumin, half a scant palmful
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander, half a palmful
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika, a scant palmful
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
4 slices smoked or sharp cheddar
4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
4 crusty burger rolls, split and toasted
Lettuce and red onions, for topping

Steps:

Preparation Place ketchup ingredients in a small pot and simmer 20 minutes over low heat to thicken. Heat oven to 375ºF and bake 8 slices of bacon on slotted pan to crisp. Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a skillet, add chopped bacon and cook to crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving 2 tablespoons drippings in the pan.

Categories main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 slices bacon, chopped
4 scallions, cleaned and trimmed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 1/3 pounds ground beef sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend or coarse salt and black pepper
1/2 pound extra sharp white cheddar cheese, crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, split
4 leaves crisp romaine lettuce

Steps:

Preheat grill pan over high heat.
In a medium pan brown bacon over medium high heat and drain on paper towel lined plate.
Brush scallions with a little oil and grill on hot grill pan 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat to cool.
Combine ground beef with Worcestershire and steak seasoning or salt and pepper. Divide meat into 4 equal parts. Combine cheese crumbles and cooked bacon. Take 1/4 of the meat in your hand and make a well in the center of it. Pile in cheese and bacon, then carefully form the burger around the cheese and bacon filling. Make sure the fillings are completely covered with meat. When all 4 patties are formed, drizzle burgers with oil and place on hot grill pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side over high heat, reduce heat to medium low and cook burgers 7 or 8 minutes longer, turning occasionally. Do not press down on burgers as they cook. Transfer burgers to a plate and let them rest 5 minutes before serving.
Chop cooled, grilled green onions and add to a food processor. Add mayonnaise and cumin to the food processor and pulse the onions and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
Pile burgers on crusty buns and top with crisp lettuce leaves and a slather of green onion mayonnaise. As you bite into the burgers, you will find a smoky, cheesy surprise at the center.
