Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Yield: 1 sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 onion rings, frozen
• 1/4 pound ground beef
• 1 sesame seed hamburger bun
• 2 slices bacon
• Salt to taste
• 1 slice American cheese
• 2 tablespoons Bull's Eye Hickory Smoke barbecue sauce*

Instructions

1. Heat a clean barbecue to medium grilling heat.
2. Bake the onion rings in the oven according to the directions on the package.
3. Form the ground beef into a flat burger the same diameter as the bun. It's best to premake your burger and store it in the freezer, then cook it frozen.
4. Grill the faces of the top and bottom bun in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Keep the pan hot.
5. Cook the bacon slices in the pan.
6. Grill the burger for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until done. Salt each side.
7. Spread 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce on the faces of each bun, top and bottom.
8. Place both onion rings on the sauce on the bottom bun. Next stack the burger, then the cheese and the 2 bacon slices, crossed over each other.
9. Top off the sandwich with the top bun.
