Ingredients

8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 pound ground chuck
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 kaiser-style rolls
4 slices sharp cheddar or pepper jack
3 tablespoons
Secret Sauce (4 parts mayonnaise and 1 part red relish)
2 tablespoons chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
8 crisp dill pickle chips
1 cup chopped iceberg lettuce, patted dry and chilled
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes

Procedure

1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crisp.

2. Form the ground beef into 4 flat patties of equal size, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Grill the burgers, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.

4. Butter the bottoms of the hamburger buns and, 1 minute before the burgers are done, toast both halves of the buns on the grill.

5. While the burgers are still on the grill, top each patty with a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon. Quickly remove the burgers from the grill and assemble as follows:

1. Bottom bun
2. Secret Sauce
3. Sweet onions
4. Dill pickle chips
5. Iceberg lettuce
6. Tomato slice
7. Beef patty with cheese and bacon
8. Top bun
