Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Halve buns. • Halve potatoes lengthwise. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Lower heat and add a splash of water if onion begins to burn. • Stir in half the BBQ sauce (save the rest for serving); cook until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
• While onion cooks, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon* and cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat (you’ll use this to cook the patties). • Once bacon is cool enough to handle, finely chop half the slices.
• In a large bowl, combine beef*, minced onion, remaining Fry Seasoning, and salt (we used ½ tsp). (Use 1 tsp salt for 4 servings.) Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat; add patties and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes per side. • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with gouda; cover pan until cheese melts and patties reach desired doneness.
• Once potatoes are lightly browned and tender, remove from oven and evenly sprinkle with pepper jack and chopped bacon. Return to oven until cheese melts and potatoes are tender, 5-7 minutes more. • Meanwhile, toast buns until golden. • Thinly slice pickle into rounds. Trim and thinly slice scallions.
• Spread buns with remaining BBQ sauce. Fill with patties, caramelized onion, bacon slices, and pickle (you may have extra; if so, serve on the side). • Divide burgers and potatoes between plates. Garnish potatoes with sour cream and scallions and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This burger was so juicy and tasted so good. The bacon, BBQ caramelized onions, and other toppings completed it. Love that the pickles were included. We loved the cheesy roasted potatoes too!
I absolutely loved the bacon and barbecue addition to the burgers. It was a bit tough to get the burgers compact enough and cooked thoroughly, but it was worth it for the final product. Could have used a few more potato wedges per serving.
We really loved this meal. The burgers were really tasty we liked the bun, sauce and the bacon was high-quality. We liked that the potato wedges had some cheese and bacon to make them a little bit more interesting than normal. Overall this is one of our favorites so far.
Very delicious hamburgers was more than me and my husband could eat in one meal. Meat lean and the caramelized onions were amazing with the potatoes wedges. We enjoyed making the meal together.
We have been getting a lot of recipes with potato wedges. It was nice to change it up and have them loaded with cheese and bacon. The BBQ for the burgers was very sweet. Our family loved this meal.
These burgers were so tasty! The BBQ brought out the flavors in the meat and it was very flavorful. The potatoes were a great compliment
Delicious, indulgent burger. The loaded roasted potatoes make it like a homemade version of a carry out splurge. Needs more veggies to be a proper meal.
This recipe was very "onion-y". I chose it despite the added cost, as I thought it would be pleasing to my middle school age kids. They loved the potatoes, but the burgers, not so much. Would have been better off just making my own. I think it was the minced onion in the mix and the seasoning that tasted funky to them.
This was very good. Never thought of using BBQ sauce with onions or in meat. Bacon was much better this package. Only issue was I got 5 fingerling potatoes and 3 were the size of my thumb, so that was the least I've ever gotten.
Great flavor!!! Burgers came out a bit greasy..might incorporate cooked bacon into the burger and just cook in a bit of EVOO.
