All-American Double Bacon and Cheddar Smash Burgers

Recipe courtesy of The McLemore Boys on behalf of Wonder

Servings: 4

• 4 Wonder Classic Hamburger Buns
• 2 pounds of Angus beef
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon McLemore Boys Sweet Rub
• 1/4 cup sweet barbecue sauce
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 pound bacon, halved lengthwise
• mayonnaise
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 head of lettuce
• kosher salt
• black pepper

Instructions

Heat the griddle to high heat.

Toast buns on the griddle until golden brown. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, and sweet rub; mix evenly. Form the meat mixture into eight 4-ounce balls.

Place balls on the griddle and smash with a spatula. Cook 5 minutes, flip, and brush with barbecue sauce. Cook 5 minutes, or until burgers reach medium doneness. Place cheese slices on burgers for the last 2 minutes to melt.

Assemble bacon in a 3-by-3 weave. Cook alongside burgers to the desired crispiness.

To build burgers, spread buns with mayo, add the first burger, then mini bacon weave, second burger, tomato, lettuce, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Crown it with a top bun and gently press.
