Arbeitsschritte:
- Make the Burgers
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into burger patties.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the burger patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
- While the burgers cook, pan-fry the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Mini Onion Rings
- Place the sliced shallots in a bowl with the buttermilk. Let soak for 1 hour.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the shallots from the buttermilk and dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Shake off excess flour and carefully place the shallots into the hot oil.
- Fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown, stirring gently so they do not stick together.
- Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Burgers
- Spread mayonnaise and BBQ sauce on the hamburger buns.
- Add a cheeseburger patty to the bun.
- Top with bacon, shredded lettuce, and mini onion rings.
- Serve immediately with extra onion rings on the side.
