List of Ingredients



• 1½ pounds lean ground sirloin
  
• 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles or jalapeños
  
• 1 Tbsp beef fajita seasoning
  
• 1 Tbsp bottled steak sauce
  
• 1 bottle barbecue sauce of your choice
  
• 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
  
• 8 slices fully cooked bacon
  
• 1 sweet onion, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
  
• 4 Texas-size hamburger buns
  






Instructions



1. Blend ground meat, chiles, fajita seasoning and steak sauce in a medium bowl. Shape into 4 patties about ¾-inch thick. Heat charcoal 30 minutes until ash-covered, or heat gas grill on high 10 minutes with lid closed; oil grill grate and position 4 inches above heat source. For stovetop cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
   
   
2. Grill or cook patties over medium heat 7 to 8 minutes per side, or until center reaches 160° and is no longer pink. Baste tops with barbecue sauce after turning. Top each patty with cheese about 2 minutes prior to removing from grill. Spray onion rings and bacon slices with nonstick spray; grill or cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
   
   
3. Split buns in half; toast in oven or around edges of grill, if desired. Spread barbecue sauce on buns. Place patties, bacon and onions between buns, and serve.
