Ingredients
  

  • 13.5 oz Onion Rings fresh or frozen
  • 9 slices Bacon cut in half
  • 12 slice American Cheese
  • ½ cup Mayo
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 6 Burger Buns

For the patties

  • 2 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika

Instructions
 

  • Prepare onion rings as directed by package. If making fresh (recipe provided below), you can make them while cooking the burgers.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add bacon. Cook until crispy and remove to a paper towel covered plate and keep warm. Reserve at least two tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
  • Combine ingredients for patties and form into 12 equal balls. Place two to three balls into the hot pan (with bacon grease) and use a wide flat spatula to press each down into thin patties (¼ inch thick). Cook for 2 minutes then flip and press down again. Let cook for 1 minutes then top with each with a slice of cheese and let cook another minute. Stack two patties together. Repeat with remaining balls.
  • Build the burger - smear bottom bun with mayo. Add double cheeseburger, then 3-4 pieces of bacon. Top with 2-3 onion rings then drizzle with BBQ sauce. Place top bun and press down slightly to help hold it all together.
