There's nothing wrong with a classic cheeseburger, but sometimes you want to spice things up. Topped with piquant jalapeño peppers and crisp, salty bacon strips, this lettuce-wrapped take on a cowboy burger is pure bliss on a plate. It all comes together with a dollop of our smoky, 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 pickled jalapeños. Try all the bells and whistles suggested in this recipe the next time you want to kick up your family dinner or backyard barbecue with a little something different.

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. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
Preheat your grill to high. Brush the grill grate with a bit of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, or spray with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray.
Meanwhile, dump the coleslaw mix into a large bowl. Add mayo, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Place in the fridge for later.
Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the burgers over and cook on the other side for 3-5 minutes.
Place cheese slices on top of each burger and allow to cook another 1 minute for medium rare. Remove burgers from the grill.
For each plate, add: 1 burger on top of a few lettuce leaves. Add 1 slice of bacon, torn in half, sliced jalapeños, and a few spoonfuls of coleslaw to the plate. Serve with Primal Kitchen BBQ Sauce.
