Busy days can take you through a fast food drive threw. Recently having one of those days I tried the baconator. I loved the caramelized onions, the "secret sauce" and yes the bacon! Not figure friendly but hey, sometimes you just have to dive on in! Go ahead and give this a try. There is a warning, bring your own bib:-)

Steps

30 mins

1

Start your sauce first. Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the burger.
2

Now cook your bacon. Reserve 1 tablespoon of fat to add the the onions.
3

Mix up your burger ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside to cook last. This time helps flavors blend and brings meat to room temperature. Much better for grilling or pan frying.
4

Slice the onion into thin rings.
5

In a large pan on low-medium heat, add bacon fat and butter.
6

Add in onions once the butter has melted.
7

Cook for 30 minutes or until brown and caramelized. Stir only every five minutes.
8

Once onions have cooked, remove and place on a plate covered by aluminum foil to keep warm.
9

Take your burger mix and form into 4 patties. You can cook them in the pan used for onions raising heat to medium high.
10

Cook burgers about 3-4 minutes per side. You don't want any pink color left in finished cooked burger.
11

Now assemble.
12

Place lettuce leaf on bottom of bun. Place on one patty. Top with 1/4 of onions. Spoon on the amount of sauce you desire. Top with 2 slices of bacon. Now top of bun.
13

Now grab a cold soda, beer or your favorite beverage and don't forget a napkin at the ready:-)
