Asiago Jalapeno Bagel Burger

Shape ground chuck into a patty and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let rest.

Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients and light charcoal for grill. If not using charcoal, preheat gas grill or large skillet on a stove.

Once grill is hot, add burger. Cook to desired temperature (I prefer medium with a bit of warm pink in the center). Flip, then add cheese and let melt. I also place the onion and bagel on the grill for a few minutes, to warm through.

Let’s build this burger.

Take bottom part of bagel and smear warm brown gravy onto it (if using). Add sliced red onion, bacon, burger, lettuce, and pickles. Top with top of bagel, press down, then get into this thing.
