Ingredients for Bluegrass Beercheese Melts with Bourbon BBQ Glaze

• 12 slices bacon
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 small yellow onions, sliced thinly into rings
• 1 poblano pepper, julienne
• 1 green bell pepper, julienne
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 3 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
• 1 tablespoon spicy steak sauce (recommended: A1 Bold and Spicy Steak Sauce)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flat beer
• 2 pounds freshly ground chuck
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for brushing grill
• 12 slices Texas Toast

Directions for Bluegrass Beercheese Melts with Bourbon BBQ Glaze

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Lay out bacon strips on rimmed baking sheet pan, lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake until brown and crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Alternately, bacon can also be cooked in the microwave or on the stovetop.
3. Preheat a gas grill, charcoal grill, or indoor grill to medium-high heat.
4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside remaining butter for bread. Saute onions and both peppers until soft and caramelized.
5. Meanwhile, combine ketchup, barbecue sauce, bourbon, mustard, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a light simmer and continue to cook until sugar is dissolved and sauce is thick, about 3 to 4 minutes.
6. For Beercheese, combine first 5 ingredients in food processor, and with machine running, drizzle in beer until mixture is smooth and well combined.
7. Divide ground chuck into 6 square-shaped patties, approximately the size of Texas toast. Season with salt and pepper. Brush grill with vegetable oil. Place patties on grill and cook, turning once until done, approximately 5 to 7 minutes until desired doneness. Once flipped, brush tops of patties with BBQ glaze.
8. Meanwhile, lightly butter both sides of each slice of Texas toast and grill on either side for 1 to 2 minutes along outer edges of grill, until lightly browned and toasted.
9. To assemble, spread 6 slices of Texas toast liberally with beercheese, approximately 2 tablespoons per slice. Top with bacon strips and burger patties. Top burgers with caramelized onion and pepper mixture. Spread the remaining slices of toast with additional BBQ glaze, about 1 tablespoon per slice, and invert onto burger patties. Enjoy!

• Easy Grilling Recipes and Tips
• Grilling – Grilling is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above, below or from the side. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled is cooked on a grill (an open wire grid such as a gridiron with a heat source above or below), using a cast iron/frying pan, or a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, but with raised ridges to mimic the wires of an open grill).Heat transfer to the food when using a grill is primarily through thermal radiation. Heat transfer when using a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction. In the United States, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is called broiling. In this case, the pan that holds the food is called a broiler pan, and heat transfer is through thermal radiation.Direct heat grilling can expose food to temperatures often in excess of 260 °C (500 °F). Grilled meat acquires a distinctive roast aroma and flavor from a chemical process called the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction only occurs when foods reach temperatures in excess of 155 °C (310 °F).Studies have shown that cooking beef, pork, poultry, and fish at high temperatures can lead to the formation of heterocyclic amines, benzopyrenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogens.Marination may reduce the formation of these compounds. Grilling is often presented as a healthy alternative to cooking with oils, although the fat and juices lost by grilling can contribute to drier food.
