Bacon Cheeseburger and Baked Fries

Summer is in full swing in Central Arkansas, and with it, I felt that it was time to have a good hamburger. This wasn’t just any hamburger though, it was seasoned to perfection, two pieces of gooey cheese, with two pieces of perfectly cooked bacon on top, all sitting between tow pieces of fresh kaiser rolls. Served along side of baked regular and sweet potato fries.

I love the process of charcoal grilling, the open flames, the smell of the coals, the flavor that they add to anything that is on the grill and sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather as each piece of food takes its time to reach optimal flavor.  I grew up with my Dad always using a charcoal grill of some sort and the smell and flavors take me back to childhood.

I grew up with my Dad always using a charcoal grill of some sort and the smell and flavors take me back to childhood. Since we moved here a couple years ago we have only had an electric grill, while I have no complaints of anything Hubby has made out there for me, I had missed the charcoal taste. A few months ago he decided to convert an old electric grill we had to a charcoal grill. With these burgers, we finally got to try it out, and it worked great.

Here is our burger recipe seasoning and what we did, I hope you enjoy!

Hubby added grilled jalapenos to his burger. To grill remove the stem and seeds and grill for 20 or so minutes until tender.
