    • 4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese – shredded
    • Dashes of ground cumin
    • Dashes of garlic powder
    • 1 tsp. of brown sugar

    Directions

    1. Prepare the bacon and set aside. Reserve some of the bacon fat to cook the burgers in.

    4. Form into the desired size burgers.
    5. Heat a large frying pan with the drippings from the bacon and a little drizzle of olive oil.
    6. Carefully, place the burgers in the hot frying pan and let the burgers get a nice golden color on one side before flipping.
    7. Sautéed Onions:
    8. Heat a griddle or large frying pan or griddle with a drizzle of olive oil.
    9. Place the sliced onions and jalapeño in the pan to sauté. Allow the onions to get a beautiful golden color.
    10. Place the onions and jalapeño in a small serving platter.
    11. Mix together the vinegar, brown sugar and ketchup in a small bowl. Add to the onions and jalapeño and toss.
    12. Build your Burger:
    13. Toast the bun and top with the burger, bacon, avocado and onions. Try a little mayonnaise on your burger; it is a nice change from ketchup.
