Ingredients
1 ½ pounds organic grass-fed ground chuck (80% lean)
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 Tbsp Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil
-
2 Tbsp Primal Kitchen Mayo with Avocado Oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
1 Tbsp Primal Kitchen Spicy Brown Mustard
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce
FOR THE COLESLAW
TO ASSEMBLE THE BURGERS
Directions
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Form each portion loosely into a ¾-inch thick burger. Press your thumb into the middle of each patty to create a depression and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to high. While the grill heats, assemble the coleslaw.
In a large bowl combine the mayo, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix together, then add the coleslaw mix. Stir well to coat. Place in the fridge.
Brush the grill grate with avocado oil and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill the burgers until slightly charred on the first side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the burgers over and cook on the other side for 3-5 minutes or until almost done to your liking.
Place cheese slices on top of each burger and allow to cook another minute. Remove burgers from the grill.
Assemble the burgers: Arrange 3-4 lettuce leaves on a plate so they overlap by about half. Place a burger patty in the middle of the lettuce. Top with a slice of bacon torn in half and 3-4 slices of jalapeño. Drizzle with BBQ sauce. Top with coleslaw, or serve coleslaw on the side. Repeat for the other 3 burgers.
Optionally wrap the lettuce around each burger and secure with a toothpick, or simply enjoy as is with a fork and knife.

It all comes together with a dollop of our smoky, organic Unsweetened Classic BBQ Sauce made with real ingredients and no cane sugar or artificial sweeteners.
We paired this hearty beef patty with a homemade coleslaw that adds a cooling counterpoint to the smoky, slightly peppery BBQ sauce and slow-burning heat of the jalapeños.
