Carl's Jr.Western Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe - Todd Wilbur

Yields: one sandwich
Calories: 453
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
2 frozen onion rings
1/4 pound ground beef
1 sesame-seed hamburger bun
2 slices bacon
salt to taste
1 slice American cheese
2 tablespoons Bull's-Eye Hickory Smoke barbecue sauce

Procedure:
1. Preheat a clean barbecue to medium grilling heat.

2. Bake the onion rings in the oven according to the directions on the package.

3. Form the ground beef into a flat burger the same diameter as the bun. It's best to pre-form your patty and store it in the freezer, then cook it frozen.

4. Grill the faces of the top and bottom bun in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Keep the pan hot.

5. Cook the bacon slices in the pan.

6. Grill the burger for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until done. Lightly salt each side.

7. Spread 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce on the faces of each bun, top and bottom.

8. Place both onion rings on the sauce on the bottom bun. Next stack on the burger, then the cheese and the 2 bacon slices, crossed over each other.

9. Top off the sandwich with the top bun.

Description:
Carl's Jr. Junior Western Bacon Cheeseburger
For about a buck, Carl's Jr. sells this smaller version of the preceding sandwich. It's made with a slightly smaller bun, a smaller portion of beef, half the bacon, and half the onion rings. Here's what you do: Pat out 1/8 pound of ground beef to the same diameter as the bun. Use only one slice of bacon, broken in two, with the pieces crossed over each other. Use only one big onion ring, and build the burger in the same stacking order as the larger, original version.

Carl's Jr. Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger
For real cholesterol fans, Carl's Jr. has designed a supersize version of this very popular burger. It is essentially the same as the original, with an additional 1/4-pound patty of beef and an additional slice of American cheese stacked on top of the other cheese and beef. Everything else is made the same as in the original. If you try it you'll like it. Just remember to jog an extra mile or two.
