  Grinding the Meat
• 
  6

  If you are grinding your own, cut the pork and beef into cubes.
• 
  7

  Grind, using the course grinder plate.
•

  If you are not grinding your own, see if you can get course ground from your butcher, sometimes call a chili grind. If you cannot, no worries, just use the ground meat that you already have.

  Making Bacon-Wrapped Heaven
• 
  10

  Add the ingredients for the sauce to a small bowl, then whisk to combine.
• 
  11

  Add the ground pork and beef to a large mixing bowl.
• 
  12

  Sprinkle the dehydrated onions over the top, then add two tablespoons of the sauce.
• 
  13

  Using your hands or fork, gently combine the ingredients.
• 
  14

  Cover with some cling wrap, and place in the fridge for about an hour.
• 
  15

  Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350f/175c.
• 
  16

  Divide the mix in half and make two, 6-ounce patties.
• 
  17

  I am using a ring to make the patties; however, that is not necessary, just make them thick and of even thickness.
• 
  18

  Brush the tops with some of the Sauce.
• 
  19

  Add about a tablespoon of non-flavored oil (grapeseed), into a medium-high preheated skillet, then add the patties, sauce-side-down. You should hear a nice sizzle.
• 
  20

  After about about 1 minute, brush more sauce on the tops, and flip them over for an additional minute.
• 
  21

  Remove from the skillet and wrap in a piece of thick-sliced bacon… or two.
• 
  22

  Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon begins to crisp, and the meat is cooked thru, about 10 – 12 minutes.
• 
  23

  Brush the tops with a bit more of the sauce before serving.
• 
  24

  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  25

  Serve with your favorite sides. In this photo, I added some sautéed shrimp and called it Surf & Turf. Enjoy.
