The Bacon Ring Burger. Here is another great recipe from our friends Ken and Patti at www.datenightdoins.com What a great burger! We made these and filled them with sautéed garlicky mushrooms. We call them Bacon Rings, what a treat.
Mix your seasonings together with the hamburger and make your patties. We made 5 out of 2 1/2 lbs..
Place patties in the refrigerator to help them hold together better on the grill.
Sauté the mushrooms and shallots in the butter and set them aside. Put them on the grill when the burgers go on to heat up.
Coat the onion rings with the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce and season with the Seasoning Salt. Wrap each onion ring with 3 strips of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Yes, 3 strips of bacon.
Smoke bacon-wrapped onion rings at 225°F for 1 hour. Remove and increase grill temperature to 350°F.
Grill patties for 6 minutes per side, making a quarter turn at 3 minutes.
Top with cheese and bacon ring. Then, fill the bacon ring with the mushrooms. Add your condiments of choice.
Goes great served with some corn on the cob! Don’t forget to keep that bottle of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce close by for dipping!
