Instructions

Directions Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make the honey mustard, combine the mustard, honey and mayo. Mix well and set aside in refrigerator. To make the chili ketchup, combine the ketchup and chili sauce. Mix well and set aside in refrigerator. To make the patties, combine the meat, onion, Chardonnay, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, A-1 Sauce, seasoned salt, kosher salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the rolls. When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack and brush the each patty with the bbq sauce, cover, and cook. Turning the patties once and brush with bbq sauce, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. During the final minutes of grilling the patties, add the Cabot cheddar cheese to each patty then close the grill lid for a quicker melt about 1 – 2 minutes. Also arrange the bacon on a nonstick perforated pan lightly coated with vegetable oil and grill to crisp and warm up bacon alongside the patties for 1 to 2 minutes, turning as necessary. When the bacon is warm / crisp, remove from the grill. When the patties are cooked, remove from the grill. Tent the burgers with tin foil to keep warm. Lightly oil the buns halves with extra virgin olive oil. Place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of honey mustard on bottom side of rolls and chili ketchup spread over the roll tops. On each roll bottom, place a lettuce leaf, 2 crinkled pickle slices like an “X”, a large tomato slice, patty, 2 bacon slices like an “X”, and a red onion slice. Add the roll tops and serve.
