Bacon Jalapeno Cheddar Burger | PK Grill

This week we are spicing it up a bit with a Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Burger!

We started with a pound of 90/10 ground beef ( you can use a fattier ratio if you prefer) and seasoned with with some Lowry's Seasoned Salt. Next we added in one chopped jalapeño (if you want it spicer, leave in the seeds and veins). Mix to combine by try not to over mix. Divide into four equal sections and form into burger patties. Season with Sweet & Savory O.G. Rub or your favorite BBQ Seasoning. Place in fridge while you get your grill going to help them keep there shape.

We used our PK Grill for this cook but any cooker set up for direct heat cooking will work. Once we got our grill to a medium high heat, we placed the burgers on for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes we gave them a twist and cooked for an additional 4 minutes. Next we gave them a flip and cooked them to our desired doneness. About 5 degrees prior to your doneness add one strip of bacon (split into two pieces) per burger and cover with cheddar cheese (you can add more jalapeño here if you want as well). Once the cheese is melted, your burgers are ready to take off the grill.

Let them rest for about 5 minutes. Dress with your favorite burger toppings and enjoy!
