- Divide the meat into six equal balls.
- Flatten them into 3/4-inch-thick patties, and use your thumb to create a shallow indentation in the center of each burger.
- Grill the burgers for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip, and continue cooking for another 4 minutes to cook them to medium.
- Top the patties with the cheese, and toast the buns for the last minute of grilling.
- Build your burgers by topping with the bacon, Comeback Sauce, coleslaw, fried onion rings, and tomatoes.
- Dont worry about getting messy!
- The shallow indentation in the center of the burgers will keep them from puffing up while you grill them.
