4 Wonder Classic Hamburger Buns
2 pounds angus beef
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Lanes BBQ Sweet Heat BBQ rub
¼ cup sweet barbecue sauce
8 slices cheddar cheese
1 pound bacon, halved lengthwise
mayonnaise
1 large tomato, sliced
1 head lettuce
kosher salt
black pepper
Heat griddle to high heat. Toast buns on griddle until golden brown. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs and sweet rub; mix evenly. Form meat mixture into eight 4-ounce balls.
Place balls on griddle and smash with spatula. Cook for 5 minutes, flip and brush with barbecue sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, or until burgers reach medium doneness. Place cheese slices on burgers for the last 2 minutes to melt.
Assemble bacon in 3-by-3 weave. Cook alongside burgers to desired crispiness.
To build burgers: spread buns with mayo, add first burger then mini bacon weave, second burger, tomato, lettuce and sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Crown it with top bun and gently press.
Pro tip: For an even bigger punch, chop half the bacon before cooking it and add to the patty mixture.
