Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F and line the baking sheet with foil.
Place the bacon on the foil, and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare your other ingredients.
Thinly slice the mushrooms and onion and add them to a frying pan with olive oil spray and a pinch of kosher salt.
Over medium heat, cook the mushrooms and onions until the mushrooms are cooked down and tender, and the onions are slightly caramelized (about 10 minutes).
Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan to deglaze the mushrooms and onions.
Remove the cooked mushrooms and onion from the pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the dehydrated onion, Worcestershire, ranch seasoning.
Combine and divide into four 4-oz patties. Create a slight divot in the center of each burger.
Use the same frying pan from the mushrooms and onions for the burgers.
Place the frying pan over medium high heat, and add cooking spray.
Cook the burgers until done to your liking (recommended: medium to medium-well internal temperature).
Top each patty with a slice of cheese and melt.
To assemble, add 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to each bun, top with one patty and cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
