Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
- 6 to 12 slices bacon (cooked)
- 6 slices Havarti cheese
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 1 to 2 large tomatoes (sliced)
- For Sauce:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (use 1 tablespoon if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Steps to Make It
-
Combine ketchup, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, white vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and salt a small bowl. Â Use right away if burgers are cooked, or cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator until ready to serve burgers. Mixture will stay good for up to 3 days after preparation if stored covered in refrigerator.
-
Cook bacon right before burgers go on the grill.  Fry to desired crispiness and set onto a plate lined with paper towels  Let them drain while burgers are cooking.
-
Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Gently combine ground beef with sriracha sauce. Â Form ground beef mixture into 6 equal sized patties. Season with salt and black pepper and place onto a well oiled grill grate. Cook burgers for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Â During the last minute or two off cook time, place Havarti sliced onto patties and grill until cheese is melted. Remove cooked patties from grill and let rest for 4-5 minutes.
-
To assemble: place lettuce and tomato on bottom bun. Add burger patty. Top with sriracha sauce, 1-2 slices of bacon each, and the top bun to finish it off. Serve with a nice creamy potato salad, steak fries, or coleslaw.
