Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, rib rub and black pepper. Cover and set in the fridge, until ready to use.
In a deep fryer or Dutch oven, add about 2 to 3 inches of fry oil. Preheat the oil to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and seasoning.
Dip the strips of poblano in the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture. Repeat to double coat. Fry the strips until golden brown. Place on a wire rack.
Deep fry the bacon, until crispy and place on the wire rack. Set aside.
Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F. Form the hamburger into 4 equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3 minutes, or until medium doneness. Top with American cheese, to melt slightly.
While the burgers are cooking, spread a little butter on the underside of the buns and toast.
To assemble: spread some sauce on the bottom bun and top with 1 patty, strips of poblano, bacon, patty, tomato, onion, pickles, lettuce, more sauce and the top bun. Serve immediately. Note: These can also be made into 4 single patty burgers.
Notes
As seen in our video, you can also make your own hamburger meat by grinding together, 3 lbs. Chuck roast with 8 slices of bacon. Be sure to grind twice for the best consistency.
