What could possibly make a smash burger better?

[SMOKE FREAK]

What could make a better smash burger?
Toasted wheat buns? Of course.
Blue cheese? Absolutely.
Aged cheddar? I think it's mandatory with beef!
Dukes Mayo? No doubt about it.
Fermented Jalapeno sauce? That's a big YES in my house.

How about BACON? Bacon makes every thing better!


Nice crispy bacon.


I used ground chuck which shrunk up a bit but it still fit the buns.
Blue cheese on half and cheddar on the rest.
Cheddar burger goes on top of the blue cheese burger.


And here we have the toasted wheat bun with Dukes and Jap sauce.
The two-cheese burgers piled on.
And finally...The bacon. Lots of bacon.


Topped off and ready to eat.


And that proves (at least to me) that bacon makes ALL things better.

Thanks for checking it out.

Darn fine Craig.

Well.. it certainly makes cheeseburgers better. And yours looks like a mouthful.

There’s no way I could make a burger better than that. Maybe my brother-in-law could have before he passed, since he raised his own beef. Or my son, who grinds his own. Not me, though. That looks fantastic.

Here is a thread from the past.

I love the fact that the peppers are preserved by the lactic acid that forms during the ferment. Tart, but not like vinegar at all.

The ripe jalapenos make a tasty hot sauce.

I've had success with peppers up to 4 months in the ferment. Just gets better and better.

I'd hit that for sure.....now I know what I'm grilling for dinner tonight.....Thanx for sharing!

I'm sorry, I just can't get behind the "super" burger. How do you even eat something like that?
But it is beautiful!

Actually, it smashed down quite well. Juice was going all over the plate.

And honestly, if it wasn't for the throwdown, I wouldn't even try.
