Bacon Wrapped Fiesta Burger

A couple weeks ago I got the idea to make something like a bacon explosion. A bacon explosion will put you into a meat coma if not consumed carefully. My idea was for a bacon wrapped fiesta burger. 

Ingredients:
@1.5lbs ground beef
1 onion
1 egg
Worcestershire sauce
1 pack of bacon
1 can of blackbeans
1 can of tomatoes

I started by cutting up the onion and chopping it up fine. I mixed the onion in with the ground beef, egg, some Worcestershire sauce and rub. Once that was mixed up I set it aside to marry the flavors together. 


I took the bacon and wove a lattice out of it. Once that was together I made a large square patty out of the hamburger and placed it onto the bacon. I opened and drained the tomatoes and black beans then spread them on the hamburger.

I then rolled up the beef into a log and sprinkled some more rub on the outside and rolled the bacon lattice around it. I also sprinkled more rub on that. [I cheated in rolling it up. I put some plastic wrap down and used that to help flatten the hamburger, then used it to help hold everything together when I rolled it.]

Ready to be rolled.

Rolled and ready to cook.
I had been smoking pork butts so the cooker was at a nice 250ยบ. I set the bacon wrapped fiesta burger on the grill and let it cook until the bacon was done. I removed it from the fire and sliced it up.

Done cooking. 
Sliced and ready to serve.
It was yummy. It had that bacon burger flavor with a nice smokiness to it. Next time I make it I want to use salsa in it instead of tomatoes. Some roasted peppers would be nice too.
