Ingredients:

• 4 slices of thick-cut bacon 
• 1 1/4 pounds ground beef chuck 
• 1/4 cup sambal oelek (Indonesian chile sauce) 
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
• 1/4 cup ketchup 
• Kosher salt 
• 4 slices of American cheese 
• 4 potato buns, toasted 
• 1 cup chopped drained cabbage kimchi (6 ounces)

Instructions: 

1. First, in a small bowl, combine the sambal with the mayonnaise and ketchup and mix well.
2. Then, light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the bacon over moderate heat, turning, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels.
3. Form the beef into eight 1/4-inch-thick burgers and season with salt. Grill over high heat, turning, until browned, 
1 minute per side. 
4. Make 4 stacks of 2 burgers each on the grill and spoon 1 tablespoon of the sambal mayo over each stack. 
5. Top with the cheese, cover and grill over high heat just until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
6. Spread the remaining sambal mayo on the bottom buns. 
7. Top with the burgers, bacon and kimchi, close and serve.
8. Enjoy!
