Southwestern Bacon Cheeseburgers with Guacamole

Burgers on the grill! There is something just so quintessentially “summer” about that. Grilling, pool parties, backyard BBQs – we love it all. And, honestly, those occasions are just about the only time we ever grill burgers. But, then some foodie blogging friends issued a 15-minute “gourmet” burger challenge and I was intrigued. Could we really do some delicious gourmet burgers in 15 minutes? I wasn’t sure, but decided to make  some southwestern bacon cheeseburgers to find out! Well, I’m here to tell you that it CAN be done! I’ve never timed making burgers like this before, but we did it in 15 minutes…and are now wondering why we haven’t been doing this more often. Quick, super tasty, and it didn’t heat up my entire kitchen. To make the burgers in 15 minutes (or less), starting with already pattied burgers helps (I like to buy ground beef in bulk and then patty some up to keep in the freezer). While the burgers are on the grill, cook up some bacon in the microwave (yes, really! We do this ALL the time. A bit messy, but quick & crispy). And, while the bacon cooks, whip up some homemade guacamole! Put everything together and you’ve got some delicious southwestern burgers in no time!

Yum! These were SO tasty! We served them up with some homemade salsa (that we already had) & tortilla chips. Random Tip: If you save the avocado skins from making the guacamole, you can use them as little salsa bowls! 😉
