Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
Place ketchup ingredients in a small pot and simmer 20 minutes over low heat to thicken.
Heat oven to 375F and bake 8 slices of bacon on slotted pan to crisp.
Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a skillet, add chopped bacon and cook to crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving 2 tablespoons drippings in the pan. Cook onions, jalapeos and garlic in the drippings to soften, 7-8 minutes. Let cool.
Place meat in bowl, add chopped bacon, cooled onions and jalapeos, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Form 4 patties and cook in the skillet over medium-high heat 8-12 minutes, turning once, for medium to well-done. Melt 1 slice of each cheese over each burger during the last minute or 2.
Place burgers on buns, top with bacon slices, lettuce, onions and chipotle ketchup.
