Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the ketchup, brown sugar, honey, chipotle peppers, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard. Bring to a bubble and let simmer to combine the flavors, about 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together then form into 8 thin patties. Place 1/4 of the cheese on top of 4 of the patties. Take the other patties and place on top of the cheese and pinch the edges to seal the cheese into the center. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Heat a grill or indoor grill pan over medium high heat. Grill the burgers until cooked through, 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Assemble burgers on the buns, topped with the bacon, bbq sauce, tomatoes and lettuce.
