Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburgers

 

Easy Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburgers Recipe 

We love barbecue and we're always looking for opportunities to use the sweet and smoky flavors in more than one way. I like to serve this burger with my sweet potato fries or air fryer crispy potatoes for a terrific casual meal full of flavor and punch.  Not only do we love the homemade barbecue mayo on this burger, but it also serves as a delicious alternative to ketchup for dipping potato wedges or french fries.
