Equipment

  • Flattop grill, grill or frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces 80/20 Ground Beef
  • 16 ounces Ground Wagyu or Ground Brisket or Ground Chuck
  • Spreadable Cheese
  • 1 can Refried Beans
  • 1 Tomato sliced
  • 1 Onion sliced and grilled, or diced
  • Lettuce Chopped or shredded
  • Tortilla Chips gently broken
  • 4 Hamburger Buns Preferably potato buns or bolillo

Instructions
 

  • Mix the hamburger and ground wagyu with about 1 tablespoon of Johnny's seasoning. Gently for into four ½ pound patties.
  • To make the bacon patty you will need 12 ounces of your favorite thick cut bacon. Cut the bacon strips in half and boil for 30 minutes.  Remove to a cutting board, cool and rough chop. Form into 4 equal patties.
  • Heat a flattop grill to 375 degrees. Fry the bacon patties for 3 minutes per side, or until nice and crispy. A bacon press helps a lot to cook the bacon evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Cook the burger patties for 3 minutes per side then top with cheese and cook until the meat has reached desired temp and the cheese is melted.
  • Warm the beans in a small pot on the stove.
  • On the top bun, spread an even layer of refried beans and top with the broken corn chips.
  • On the bottom bun add the lettuce, tomato, bacon patty, and then the burger patty. Top with the grilled onions and then the top bun.
  • Enjoy with a side of fries or tots.
