Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cans green chiles, honey and lime juice; set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, monterey jack cheese, garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 balls; press each lightly to form 1/4-inch-thick patties.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the bacon fat.

Step 5

Add patties to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through to medium rare, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping only once. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with additional monterey jack cheese, covering to melt.

Step 6

Serve burgers on rolls with bacon, green chili sauce, lettuce and tomatoes.
