STEPS
1
Prepare the Burch Barrel by setting the coal pan in the center of the track system. Prepare your coals to medium to high heat, about 350-400F. Set to the same temperature if using a propane grill.
2
In a bowl, add the ground beef, and season with salt and pepper. Patty out 4 burgers, leaving a small indentation in the center for a more even cook. Set aside.
3
On the grill, place the bacon and the burgers on the grill grate and grill until crispy and the burgers are medium about 135-140 internal temp. If you like them medium rare, cook to 130-135F.
4
If there is too much heat, lock the grill grate into the lid, and raise to cook more indirectly.
5
Prepare the onion rings as directed on the packaging.
6
In a small bowl add the cream cheese and minced jalapeños. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
7
Once the burgers and bacon are finished cooking, remove from the grill grate and let rest for a couple minutes.
8
While the burgers are resting, place the buns on the grill grate and toast until golden brown.
9
Take the toasted top bun, and smear a generous amount of the jalapeño cream cheese mixture.
10
Add your burger, 2 slices of bacon and 2 onion rings to the bottom bun. Assemble & enjoy!
