Calories: 450kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Top Sirloin
- 8 ounces Bacon I use applewood smoked
- 1 egg
- ½ white onion chopped very small
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup BBQ Sauce I use Stubb's Sweet Heat
- 1 tbsp Cajun Spice I use Tony Chacere's
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- bread crumbs as needed
- Cheese, grilled peppers and onions, and whatever else you love on a burger! Pile it high!
Instructions
Grinding the meat
- Prior to grinding, chop bacon and sirloin into 1 inch cubes
- Run meat through the grinder a few pieces at a time. After it has all been ground, mix it around and run the meat through again so the bacon and sirloin thoroughly mix.
Seasoning the meat
- Put freshly ground meat into a large bowl. Add egg, BBQ sauce, diced onion, minced garlic, cajun spice, and Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly.
- If the meat is too wet, add breadcrumbs as needed.
- Form into patties. You should have enough for at least 6.
Cooking the meat
- In a large saute pan over medium/high heat, cook the patties 3-4 at a time
- Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side. Flip carefully, as the fat and moisture in the burgers may cause it to break apart.
- Top with cheese, if desired, and cover pan so the cheese melts.
- Tasty Tip: Butter and broil buns in the oven to toast, and top with lettuce, pickles, grilled peppers and onions, etc. Enjoy!
