Tex-Mex Bacon Cheeseburgers

Step 1

Preheat and clean grill.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place a wire rack on a baking sheet (or use a broiler pan). Lay 8 slices of bacon over the wire rack and bake 10-12 minutes, until nice and crispy. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine beef, chopped bacon, onion, garlic, chipotle puree, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 even balls and gently mold into patties. Drizzle with olive oil and grill 5 minutes a side for medium.

Step 4

Meanwhile, make the queso sauce; Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook one minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Stir in the cheese and let melt. Lastly, stir in the tomatoes. Reduce heat to low while everything comes together.

Step 5

Layer burger rolls with grilled patties, queso sauce, back, corn chips, onion, tomatoes, and pickled jalapenos.
