This was the first cook on my new 22'5 kettle, that I got for Xmas. Decided to go with Bacon Cheese Burgers.

Made the patties with 1/2 lb of 80/20 beef, a few different spices (garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, black pepper), bbq sauce, bread crumbs, and 2 eggs.

Next got the bacon going, for my burgers it's all about coverage, and the weave is where it's at.

While the Burgers were on the grill Mushrooms and Onions were getting Happy Happy in the Kitchen. (you have all seen fried mushrooms and onions).

Burgers off the grill and approved by quality control, I like cheese Dad!!!

Cheers, thanks for looking!!!!
 
Y'all may get tired of hearing it, but I don't get tired of saying it "burger is my favorite cut of beef"

Very thoughtful gift, and it's going to provide many Happy New Years.
 
Nicely done. Looks great. I still need to figure out how the hell to make those damn weaved bacon blankets. Time to search YouTube. :)
 
There is nothing better than a big ol burger and fries.
 
Fine looking burger there.
We love sauteed onions and mushrooms on our burgers.
 
Looks good! Never thought of doing a bacon weave to top a hamburger...will have to try that soon.
 
First cook eh? Helluva start. Looks awesome.
