Ingredients: Makes 12 Burgers
2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 medium red onions, sliced
1 package fresh Portobello mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
12 Kaiser roll

lettuce leaves torn into pieces
2 thinly sliced tomatoes
12 slices of pepper jack cheese
Directions
In a large bowl add beef, sea salt, pepper and garlic, mix well.
Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Make 12 equal burger dogs by rolling them until you have the shape of a hot dog.
Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium.
Season with sea salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Place the patties on the grill or grill pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
Rotate the burger dogs like you would a hot dog.
Repeat, cooking until the burger dog is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes total or cook until it is at the desired degree of rareness.
Remove the burger dogs from the grill pan and set it aside
Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the insides of the buns, and cook them on the grill or grill pan until toasted.
Remove from the pan.
To assemble:
Spread Mayo over the inside of the top halves of the buns and over the inside of the bottom halves.
Add a burger dog, 4 pieces of bacon, tomato slices, mushrooms, onions, and lettuce and cheese to each half, and cover with the tops.
Serve immediately.
