Directions

1

I actually made a spicy mayo for this burger mixing mayonnaise with cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and just a little Tabasco.
2

I didn't include it in the recipe, but am listing it here for those who would like to try it as well.
3

In a mixing bowl, mix the ground beef, scallions, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, Tabasco sauce (as much as you like) and then shape into 12 thin patties.
4

On top of 6 patties, mound up the bacon, then the cheese.
5

Top with other patties and seam together at edges, just pressing with fingertips.
6

Grill or pan fry burger (whatever you prefer)until desired doneness.
7

Spread the mayo on the bottom bun and place a patty.
8

Top with whatever you'd like and enjoy.
