Guacamole Bacon Burger

So I have seen how Carl’s Jr. fast food restaurants have a guacamole bacon burger and decided to try to make one at home. Now I haven’t tried the Carl’s Jr. version so I am not sure how it compares. However, I thought my version was delicious.

I kept the seasoning on the burger simple, but you can always jazz it up more if you’d like.  I just thought, if you are having a guacamole bacon burger, then the guacamole and bacon should be the stars of that burger. Now, I love to cook my bacon in the oven. It makes less mess.

Also, I wanted a hearty burger, so I did use 1/3 pound patties. However, by all means, you can adjust the patty size to you liking.  You could even go for store bought guacamole to save some time but this guac recipe is really simple to whip together.
Be aware that this burger does get messy when you eat it, but it’s well worth the messiness!  May a recommend slicing your burgers in half for easier consumption!
