hickory bbq bacon burger

ingredients

• Beck Ranch ground beef
• Beck Ranch bacon
• Brioche buns
• American or Colby Jack cheese
• Crisp lettuce
• Mayonnaise
• Hickory sauce:
• ½ cup ketchup
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1½ tsp hickory liquid smoke
• 1½ tsp Worcestershire
• splash of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp water

directions

1. 1 Make the sauce by whisking all of the ingredients and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Makes enough for 4 burgers, so double it for a crowd.
2. 2 Form the beef into patties and season both sides well with salt & pepper.
3. 3 Preheat Grill, then turn to medium heat once you put your burgers on. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness.
4. 4 Add the cheese once you flip your burger so it melts into the patty.
5. 5 Cook the bacon until hot and crispy, I like to do mine in the oven under the broiler and grill the buns.
6. 6 Assemble your Burger and enjoy!
