1. BBQ mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise and 3 tbsp Weber® Sweet & Thick Original BBQ Sauce in a small bowl.

5. Season both sides of each patty with Weber® Gourmet Burger™ Seasoning.
6. Grill bacon: Place bacon strips directly on the grill grates over medium heat.
7. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning as needed, until crispy. Remove and set aside.
8. Grill onions: Brush onion slices with oil. Place directly on the grill grates over medium heat.

10. Grill patties: Increase grill to high heat 450°F–550°F.
11. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
12. Grill patties over direct high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, flipping once, until they reach your desired doneness.
13. During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and toast the buns on the grill, cut side down, until lightly browned.
14. Assemble burgers: Spread BBQ mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer with a grilled patty, bacon, onion, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Cover with the top bun.
15. Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled corn or potato wedges, for the ultimate BBQ experience!
