Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen onion rings and bake them until crispy and golden brown.
  2. Form the ground beef into a single patty slightly larger than your bun, as it will shrink during cooking.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  4. In the same skillet (or on a grill), cook the beef patty for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of American cheese on the burger to melt.
  6. Toast the cut sides of the sesame seed bun in the skillet or on the grill for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
  7. Spread Bull's Eye Hickory Smoke Barbecue sauce generously on both the top and bottom toasted buns.
  8. Place the baked onion rings on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy burger patty.
  9. Layer the two strips of crispy bacon across the burger, then top with the upper bun.
  10. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
