Serves 10 Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 pounds ground beef
- ¼ cup liquid smoke
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Granulate garlic, to taste
- 2 pounds Thick-sliced black pepper bacon
- 1 pound breaded onion rings
- 10 slices Monterrey jack cheese

Directions
- Preheat Blackstone griddle to high heat. While heating, mix ground beef with liquid smoke then form into 10 (6-ounce) patties.
- Place frozen battered onion rings on griddle top. Flip onion rings when first side is crispy and slightly blackened.

- Drop burger patties onto hot griddle top. Season with granulated garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, or use your favorite burger or western-style seasoning.

- Flip patties when first side is seared and slightly blackened. Season second side of burger patty.
- Add a slice of Monterrey Jack cheese to burger patty as it nears completion.
- Add two strips of cooked bacon to burger patty and top it with one or two onion rings. Use the Blackstone 12" Round Basting Cover to quickly melt the cheese.
