So, yesterday was National Cheeseburger Day, and I didn’t get the memo until it was too late, a day late and a dollar short, Go figure! Grilling season is not over yet! In my opinion, it never is.
When I lived in the Midwest, I was the person standing outside, grilling in the snow – wearing shorts and (sometimes, not always) a coat, and if the snow wasn’t too deep, flip-flops. No lie. You can imagine the comments and strange looks! That’s neither here nor there. You can grill dressed however you wanna dress, and in the snow if you want – I won’t judge!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- ½ pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 – 3 jalapenos, stems and seeds removed, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Your favorite BBQ sauce
- 8 Hamburger buns
- Condiments and toppings of choice, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc …
Instructions
- Preheat your grill (direct grilling over high heat).
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeno and cook until softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Divide each of the 8 portions in half – for a total of 16 chunks of ground beef. On waxed paper, flatten 8 of the chunks of ground beef into thin patty shapes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the bacon, cheese and the veggie mixture. Mix well. Place about ¼ cup of the mixture in the center of each of the 8 patties.
- Take the other 8 chunks of ground beef and flatten slightly between your hands and place one portion on top of one the patties with the bacon, cheese and veggie mixture. Carefully seal the 2 beef patties together. Season the top with salt and pepper.
- Place the burgers on the grill and grill for approximately 4-5 minutes. (Use your best judgment here – all grills are different!) Carefully flip and continue to cook the patties for another 3-4 minutes or until the meat is cooked through (cook to 160°).
- Using a basting brush, brush the burger with BBQ sauce. Allow to cook for an additional minute or two – and baste with BBQ sauce again. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. (Now is a great time to toast your buns if you like them toasted!)
- Serve on buns with your favorite condiments and toppings!
Notes
- **Whatever you do – DO NOT USE A SPATULA TO PRESS THE BURGER – not with this burger or any burger!! Just my two cents! I’m sure the burger police will come after you if you don’t heed my advice!**

Oh my word! I always get all giddy when jalapenos are involved. What a great idea to spruce up a burger. This is the perfect share for Foodie Friends Friday. Fall grilling is the best.
