Aaron's Bacon Burgers & Fries

Back-to-back days of feel good meals!

These are Big Burgers and this meal feeds 5 comfortably!

3 Large Baking Potatoes
2 lbs of Ground Chuck (Ground Sirloin for a slightly finer taste at a much higher price)
1/8 Cup of Pickle Juice
3/8 Cup of A1 Steak Sauce
1/4 Cup of Ketchup
1/4 Cup of Mustard
1/2 Tspn of Black Pepper
8 Slices of Bacon
1/3 Cup of Sugar
Salt Shaker
Vegetable Oil
Lettuce
Tomatoe
Pickles
Cheese
Fresh Hamburger Buns

1) Add some oil to a Frying Pan and fry the Bacon. Let Bacon cool. Transfer the remaining Oil and Bacon Grease to a Fryer. After Bacon cools, break into small pieces.
2) Take Ground Chuck and make 10 patties (you want them to be pretty flat less than 1/2 inch and pretty big in diameter).
3) Sprinkle Bacon bits on 5 patties and then stack a patty on top, You will want to pick each combined patty up and seal the edges together and then flatten together a little bit. Also, Push a thumbprint in the top side of the patty so that the burger doesn't ball up on the grill.
4) Mix the Pickle Juice, A1, Ketchup, Mustard and Black Pepper
5) Place Sauce from above and Patties in Fridge
6) Slice the Potatoe into thin (1/4 inch slices).
7) Mix Sugar and Hot water in a bowl, stir to dissolve sugar (You need enough water to cover potatoes). Add potatoes and let sit for 30 minutes.
8) Slice lettuce, tomatoe, and cheese to top burger later and put in fridge.
9) Heat up Oil and Bacon Grease in Fryer. Once at 300 F, add potatoes. Leave in Fryer until the potatoe bubbles and is crispy, then remove and add salt. (Probably have to cook in batches).
10) Place Burgers on hot grill (make sure to lubricate the grill first). When nearly cooked through (Burger should feel like the pad of skin under your thumb while touching your thumb and ring finger together), brush on the sauce made in step #4. Coat both sides before removing burgers from grill.
11) Add toppings to burger as desired with Potatoe Chips from step #9 on the burger or on the side.

Enjoy.
