How to Make Chipotle Honey Bbq Bacon Burger With Gorgonzola Cheese

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Form the meat mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
  3. Generously season both sides of the patties with freshly cracked black pepper.
  4. Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  6. Place a 2-quart saucepan on the grill.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the saucepan and heat over medium heat.
  8. Sauté 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced), 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes, and 2 cloves minced garlic until softened.
  9. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  10. Stir in 1 tablespoon dry mustard.
  11. Using an immersion blender or carefully in a regular blender, blend the sauce mixture until smooth.
  12. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup honey.
  13. Bring the sauce to a slow simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  14. While the sauce simmers, cook 6 slices of bacon in a griddle or frying pan on the grill surface until crispy.
  15. Set aside the cooked bacon to keep warm.
  16. Place the burger patties on the preheated grill.
  17. Grill the patties to medium-well, basting frequently with the chipotle-honey BBQ sauce (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  18. Spread 1 teaspoon of chipotle-honey BBQ sauce on the top and bottom of each Kaiser bun.
  19. Assemble the burgers: bottom bun, 1 ounce crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 1 slice of cooked bacon, burger patty, several slices of Roma tomato, and top bun.
