Instructions:

Season the hamburger patties to your taste with the BBQ seasoning (recipe below) - I use one teaspoon per patty.

• Cook the burgers on your grill (or your griddle) to the desired doneness (I cook hamburger patties to 160 degrees F. I check them with a meat thermometer (you should, too)
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the buns by buttering both sides lightly and warming them or broiling them a bit
• Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns and BBQ sauce and onion slices on the top buns
• When you turn the burger patties over, place one slice of cheddar and one slice of Swiss on each patty and then top with the bacon slices (two per patty)
• When the burger patties are ready (cooked), place one on each of the bottom buns and then place the top buns on each

 To serve:

Place each barbecue hamburger on a plate and serve with potato salad and barbecue baked beans.

                                                                   Special "request." Just Cheddar and Swiss.

                                                                          No onion. No tomato. No lettuce." No problem. :-)
