Partially cook, chopped bacon. (Sometimes I skip this step and just throw the chopped bacon into the meat mixture)
Next, add all other ingredients to a large bowl and mix together. Play with the amounts and add more or less to your liking! We have also made these with ground turkey and a mixture. Form into patties. We usually get 6-8 depending on the size you want.
Cook on a hot grill, sprinkle with garlic powder. After about 5-7 minutes, flip & sprinkle the other side with garlic powder. Spread on BBQ sauce. Cook another 5 minutes or until desired doneness. A few minutes before they are done cooking add your sliced cheddar cheese to melt.Serve and enjoy! We love topping ours with sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, smashed avadaco, cold lettuce and pickles... plus a little mayo.
