Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Neely's Dry Rub seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Butter
  • 6 brioche buns
  • 6 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 12 slices smoked apple wood bacon, fried crisp
  • 1/2 cup Neely's "Secret Sauce", recipe follows
  • 1 pint cole slaw (recommended: Neely's Cole Slaw)
  • 2 beef steak tomatoes, sliced

Directions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a large mixing bowl, break up the meat with your hands. Add the chopped shallot, garlic, Neely's Dry Rub, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Using your hands, divide the meat into 6 equal balls. Flatten them into patties and use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each burger. Cook's Note: This indent will help the burgers from puffing up while you grill them.

Grill the burgers, uncovered, for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and continue cooking for another 3 minutes for medium-rare, and 4 minutes for medium. Remove from grill and immediately top with the cheese.

Butter the buns and place on the grill. Toast for about 1 minute and remove from grill.

Build your burgers by topping with the bacon, Secret Sauce, coleslaw, and tomatoes. Add onion rings if desired.

Neely's Secret Sauce:

Mix all the ingredients together in s medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, allowing the flavors to develop. Can be made a day ahead.

    A great burger. I made the slaw (minus some of the sugar and it made for a great topping. I will definately make it again!

    VERY nice flavor. I roughly cut this recipe in half for just DH and I, and still ended up with 4 decent sized patties. I topped then with a cayenne pepper & jalepeno cheddar cheese and also with the secret sauce... my husband LOVED it. I was a bit of a heifer myself and scarfed down my burger in seconds... will definitely make again. PS. Making an indent in the pattie really helps with cooking uniformily.

    Lots of smooth and silky flavor. Everything welds together in deliciousness; yet it's very light. Every bite yields a new flavor and everything in this burger works well together. My family enjoyed it tremendously.
