You Have NEVER Seen A Burger Like This! | LSG Grill and Smoker

I'm calling this the Bacon Ring Steer Burger. A half-pound patty of 80/20 chuck, melted Havarti cheese, grilled on the lonestargrillz... Grill & Smoker on a bed of shredded lettuce, topped with thinly sliced red onion, pickled red onion, a deep-fried bacon ring, and Steer Burger Sauce! The bacon ring is basically an onion ring with bacon instead of onion! SO GOOD!
Bacon Ring Recipe
First, run a pound of bacon through your meat grinder or food processor. Place the ground bacon in a bowl, add 2 egg yolks, and mix well. Form this mixture into small balls and flatten them on parchment paper like sausage patties. Using your finger, poke a hole in the center and smooth out the meat. Place the rings in your freezer for at least four hours.
Whisk together 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup of whole milk and 1 egg, then whisk in the following:
1 large Egg
1/2 tsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne
2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Black
To make these bacon rings, first coat frozen rings with a little cooking oil. Dredge rings in flour, then dip them in the batter mixture (above). Transfer them to a bowl of panko and repeat. Fry rings in 375ºF oil until golden brown.
For Pickled Red Onion:
Slice onion into thin slices, separate rings, and place into a sterilized 32oz jar.
Add 30 ounces of red wine vinegar in a large pot, 1 1/2 tablespoons pickling spice, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 whole bay leaf. Turn on high heat, then turn off as just before the boiling point. Pour into jar over onion slices, then seal with lid.

WHEN IT COMES TO BURGERS - YOU ARE THE MAN!

[@SmokedReb]

This creation looked amazing! That Bacon ring was to die for.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks for watching, Brian! Hope all is well with you and the fam brother!

[@stephensano9156]

Winner, winner, bacon ring dinner! They look incredible and what a perfect addition to a perfectly seared, juicy burger!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

That crust the LSG put on the burger looked great! Your creation looked delicious!

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi Greg, it's Mike and you look well and in fine form. I think what needs to be said here is that you do justice to so many iconic Burgers out there and give proper credit. However, when you decide to do YOUR OWN THAAAANG it is always exceptional. Your Nirvana Burger remains a great favourite of mine. The Batter seasoning is insane and the Bacon Rings a must try. Many thanks again Greg. Cheers, Mike.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Mike! As always, thank you for your support over the years!

Mike is a legend in the commentary

@@KnaRRaN1989 Hi Man, it's Mike. Thanks for your kind comment. Ive followed Greg's videos for years. For me, he's The Burger Meister !!! I just try to make thoughtful comments. Cheers, Mike.

[@mr.e0311]

He's the only one man enough to actually give credit.. I can't stand that shit when people try to pass off recipes as their own. There's a guy that copies stuff all the time and never gives credit.

[@mikeflorence8655]

@@mr.e0311 Hi Man, it's Mike and thanks for your comment. I couldn't agree more with you. You are so right. Also, Greg is just the most modest guy out there. Unlike many would be and so called celebrity chefs, Greg is not an in-your-face ego driven presenter. He just does it. Cheers Man, see ya, Mike.

[@fatzoe123]

Thank you for giving me so many burger ideas. This one is another one I'm stealing for sure. Much love from Canada

[@4seasonsbbq]

Fantastic cook Greg. Why you're not closer to 100k is beyond me. This is another great burger video. I would eat this every day if available. 👍👍

Yeah, true. He deserves more

What a nice Burger and the idea to make fried Bacon 🥓 is great 👍👍👍

[@drillsgtlangdon]

I love the creativity here. Very well done brother. Bravo!!!

[@davidandrews-lq6vy]

Hi Greg , I've watched you cook a lot of burgers but this burger is probably the one that I like the look of the most . Every component looks great 👍

[@Sharky762]

Wow Greg, those bacon ring things are looking epic. Burger looked fantastic

[@TheKenGraves]

Bacon donuts and burgers!! Lovin it, Greg!

[@chefsword1]

Way back in the day (90’s). Culinary school. Me and my bro’s came up with the same idea. Never made them. Awesome to see you do it!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Yeah, it's too good of an idea for people not to have thought of it already. I didn't even want to do a web-search thinking it may discourage me! LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@fredflint3998]

What an awesome burger. Love the creativity in this one.

[@HobbyMotorDK]

Super nice looking original burger 👍👍🍔🍔

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you!

[@karneskelot4780]

I love this! These should be called "Ballistic Originals"

[@robertwayman7974]

Good to see your own creations, too. Never bad to see and get new ideas.

[@davidmccleary5540]

Great burger and video. For a Super Bowl snack, you could make those bacon rings way smaller and pile them on a plate with dipping sauce. I'm getting hungry thinking about it lol

[@michaelduncan2759]

Bacon rings, that definitely goes around here Law Dog, Savvy? What an awesome idea, that I am absolutely stealing. Thanks Greg.

Most interesting burger, it's as messy as the juicy Lucie witch is my favorite,I think the bacon ring would be good for breakfast as well ... Great Cook

[@PallerPrime]

Yup, definitely gonna have to try this one myself. Thanks for the great vid!

[@RTMZ06]

Hey Greg, that burger looked fantastic! I love the idea of contrasting the fresh red onion with the pickled red onion, I'll have to give that a try. I'm sure if it doesn't already exist somewhere then there will definitely be some restaurants incorporating those fried bacon rings into their appetizer menu after seeing this. Cheers!

[@garyjennings9458]

Wow, that looks fantastic Greg!!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Gary!

[@Homespunmusic]

I LOVe pickled onions. I usually just eat them straight from the jar after my wife makes them. However, I also put them on burgers and sandwiches. Now tacos? I'm going to try that. The Ballistic Bacon Rings is the real gem in this video. I'm definitely going to try and make those! Great video! Thank you!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Appreciate the comment! Cheers!

[@tomsfoodfactory5086]

The bacon rings reminds me of the chicken rings from White Castle. They're made the same way. You should try a BRLT sandwich (bacon ring, lettuce & tomato) 🤔

[@michaelduncan2759]

Greg I grind bacon just like that, then grind some good chuck on a course plate and mix the two together to make bacon vs beef burgers. I recommend you try it.

[@tommyb7973]

Thanks B.B, looks like fun to build that. 🥓🥓🍔🍻

[@williamparker8318]

Nice Burger! It's got all the things I like. Cheers

Fantastic!!😊

[@ray7419]

I was kinda worried about those rings. lol Great to see you again. I’ve been gone a minute due to health reasons.

[@drew4021]

Greg, that "bacon ring thing" is pure genius. If original you should definitely patent that

[@1DucatiCraig]

Nice Greg! All your videos are great to watch. Ordered my LSG Cabinet pellet grill 10 weeks ago and last week added a LSG ACG to the mix. I live in Thousand Oaks California not all that far from San Diego. My wife and I are thinking about coming out your way. Any chance I can be a guest on one of your more simple cooks? Would love to see you grill Picanha and chicken on skewers over a bed of charcoal and wood. As a thank you my wife and I could take you and your wife to dinner. In a similar fashion I reached out to Dennis Linkletter awhile back when I was in the market for a Komodo Kamado. We meet him for lunch in Newport Beach and he shared his life story about his company. Was an experience I will never forget. Yes I ended up buying one of his grills many moons ago. If you would be interested in this idea we can chat offline or however you would like. I know everyone would love a tour of your grills/smokers. Maybe that could be a part of our video? :). Thanks Greg!

[@robert7984]

Havarti has become one of my top three cheeses.

[@BallisticBurgers]

I'm loving it too! It melts great and tastes amazing on a burger.

[@paradiseaquatics8202]

It won’t be long before someone starts to copycat your burger creation Gregg as that looks so delicious

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! At least the rings!

[@ChuckDeCarlo]

Greg, renew your wedding vows and give your wife a 🥓💍 (LOL). Awesome burger! 👍🍔

[@traviswalker8933]

Quite a cool concept of making meat based donuts. Never seen that before. We can effectively name this the ring burger as it has quite a lot of rings going for it.

[@BallisticBurgers]

You're right... Rings everywhere!

[@mr.e0311]

That looked amazing!! Now I need food.. Been watching you for years. Odd you're not up to a million subs by now. Did you serve?

[@mythos000000025]

Looks good man. I think you should try those bacon rings with onion(or did I miss you add them?). I'd slice rings of onion, then wrap the ground bacon around it

[@im4broke643]

I'm wondering at 10:42 instead of rings how about flat "bacon patties" made the same way, drizzle with syrup a side of pancakes and some eggs...?

[@MisplacedAmerican]

Two Greg originals in one week PLUS bacon? Dude, your spoiling us rotten

[@wesleyrussell8386]

a baconion ring? the mad lad...

[@Dadzilla2]

Oh hell, that does look good. I love your grill, either that is new or you are able to keep it exceptially clean, I'm betting on keeping it clean.

[@BallisticBurgers]

This was the first time I used the stainless grates. I'm really happy with the way they performed on this burger. Cheers!

[@ProPyroPower]

Juiicey and originalé ^^

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers!

[@johnnydelgrady]

My only critique would be to put some pickles or a tomato between the lettuce and the burger... it keeps the lettuce from wilting. But hey, it's your burger. You do it your way. It looks great.

[@etherdog]

That bacon ring is so inovative, Greg! Is this original? I've never seen it before.

[@leedoss6905]

This is why I use finely chopped onions. 😂 Burger looks good.

[@heavyq]

Gonna need about 60 or 70 dozen of those bacon rings.

[@fletchbundy]

You're insane for that bacon ring, broken. Nothing is better than a burger cooked over charcoal. The flavor the smoke creates by the fat dripping on the coals is perfect.

[@zonacrs]

Thinking out loud, maybe grated and squeezed dry (cheese cloth or kitchen towel) onion in the bacon ring mixture and just top with the pickled onion???

[@BourbonISvegan]

You just invented bacon stuffed donuts Greg, this time next year you’ll be a millionaire 🥳

[@kevingeorge5942]

The bacon rings are genius! What is the fryer you used to cook them?

[@marvinradimak9322]

You could probably put the bacon ring on a flip flop and make it taste good

[@woodyent]

I just wonder how cooked the bacon can get while frying since it's frozen? I'd be worried it would be raw or chewy.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Great question. It was steaming hot and cooked through. I was a little concerned myself.

[@smsgem]

Maybe a bacon thing that looks like a hockey puck ?

[@garryhammond3117]

This is a great "ORIGINAL" burger Greg! Why make the bacon "thing" into a ring and not just a deep fried flat breaded bacon burger patty? - I see no compelling reason for the "ring" hole to be in it. I can see so many flavour and textrue profiles in this amazing burger! - Cheers! I think it is a winner!

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Thank you, Garry. The only reason I poked the hole is to make it look like an onion ring. It was more of a "Let's make it fun" thing. Cheers!

[@zrokeach1]

can you do a turkey burger?

[@BallisticBurgers]

I did a "Holiday Burger" using turkey a while back on Ballistic BBQ. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks!

[@staubach1979rt]

How do you know when the bacon’s done?

[@BallisticBurgers]

The same way you would know that fried chicken is done. I just went off of the color of the breading. These rings were frozen, but pretty thin, so it didn't take very long in the 375ºF oil.

[@staubach1979rt]

@@BallisticBurgers Thank you.

Greg, please make a copycat video of the lariat burger from the Old Hamburger Factory in the Poway neighborhood of San Diego
