Ingredients
  • 2 Onion Rings -- frozen
  • 1/4 pound Ground beef

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen onion rings and bake them until crispy and golden brown.
  2. 2
    Form the ground beef into a single patty slightly larger than your bun, as it will shrink during cooking.

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  4. 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. 5
    During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of American cheese on the burger to melt.
  6. 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. 7
    Spread Bull's Eye Hickory Smoke Barbecue sauce generously on both the top and bottom toasted buns.
  8. 8
    Place the baked onion rings on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy burger patty.
  9. 9
    Layer the two strips of crispy bacon across the burger, then top with the upper bun.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
