Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger

OK guys this is for you. This is a naughty, naughty burger but oh so good.

The secret is to make the patties real thin so that you can make double meat burgers without having too much meat. Remember more surface area means more flavor so two thin patties is much better than one thick one. Be sure to salt and pepper them liberally before grilling. These patties cook quickly to make sure you have everything else ready to go for the meal before firing up the grill.

First make the garlic mashed potatoes. Peel and boil potatoes until soft. Drain and set aside. He
at butter and chopped garlic in a skillet until butter sizzles and garlic cooks through. Be careful not to burn garlic pieces. Add the hot butter and garlic to the potatoes with a little milk and mash.

Keep the potatoes warm while you finish the burgers.

Make sure your fire is hot before you put the patties on. They won't take long but they need to get a good sear on each side. Make sure to put your cheddar cheese on the patties right before you take them off the grill.

Always toast the buns before assembly. Spread both sides of the bun with mayo then add two patties with cheddar, avocado slices, crisp bacon and fresh lettuce.

Serve with garlic mashers and enjoy. Ladies, this will make any man swoon.
