Grilled Bacon and Avocado Burger with Chipotle Mayo

Ingredients:

For the Burgers:

• 4 Heritage Homestead Farms grass-fed beef hamburger patties
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 8 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy
• 2 avocados, sliced
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Red onion slices
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chipotle Mayo:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chipotle Mayo:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the adobo sauce to your desired level of spiciness. Set aside in the refrigerator.

2. Grill the Hamburger Patties:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Season the hamburger patties with salt and pepper.
• Grill the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done.
• In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

3. Toast the Buns:

• While the patties are cooking, split the hamburger buns and lightly toast them on the grill until they are golden brown.

4. Assemble the Burgers:

• Spread a generous amount of the chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
• Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayo.
• Add a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and a few slices of avocado.
• Place the cheesy burger patty on top.
• Top with crispy bacon strips.
• Finish with the top half of the bun.

5. Serve:

• Secure each burger with a toothpick or bamboo skewer if necessary.
• Serve your Grilled Bacon and Avocado Burgers with a side of your favorite coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

These burgers are bursting with flavor, with the richness of Heritage Homestead Farms grass-fed beef, the creaminess of avocado, the smokiness of bacon, and the zing of chipotle mayo. They make for a fantastic Labor Day weekend treat that everyone will love. Enjoy your outdoor meal!
