Ingredients

4 buns Sola Company Burger Buns
1 pound ground beef
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 whole roasted jalapeño
8 slices crispy bacon
1 medium roasted red onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil (for searing the patties)
6 tablespoon mayonnaise (for toasting the buns, could sub butter)
pickles for garnish
2 servings homemade spicy bourbon BBQ sauce

Instructions

If making your bbq sauce from scratch, start with this so it can simmer on the stove while you cook. The longer this sauce simmers the better the flavor becomes! You may need to add some extra water if it simmers for over 40 minutes, because some of it will evaporate.
Preheat your oven to 375°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut your onions and jalapeños into rings, and sprinkle them with some salt, then put them on a baking sheet. On the other sheet, add your bacon. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until everything is cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on everything, since things can burn easily (especially the jalapeños!)
Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium heat until it’s nice and hot. In a bowl, season your beef liberally with salt and pepper, then roll into 4 patties. Add a touch of oil to the skillet. We put two patties in the skillet at a time to avoid crowding the pan since we wanted a nice caramelized crust on the beef. Using your greased spatula and potato masher, squeeze your patties down to maximize the surface area that has contact with the pan to get a nice crust.
When you flip them, immediately add your cheese so it can melt. Once the cheese is melted, remove the patties from the pan. If desired, you can add mayo to your SOLA buns add put them face down in the skillet so they get a little toasted.
Once your burgers are cooked to your liking (we recommend cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F just to be safe), you can now start building your burger! Layer the top and bottom buns with bbq sauce, then place on your burger patty with cheese, then more bbq sauce! Now just add bacon, red onions, jalapeños, pickle slices and more bbq sauce to top if you like. We will never shame you for adding ketchup, mustard or even ranch to this burger too because that’s just delicious! Go crazy, and enjoy your keto cheeseburger!
