First off, take some thick cut hickory smoked bacon and grill on the flatop, followed by grilling 2 burger patties - both seasoned with Chef Henri's Kickin Cajun on both sides while grilling.
Once the Burgers are finished cooking, Spread CheeseButta's Smoked Bacon on one side of each patty.
Stick the patties in the Air Fryer until nice and golden brown.
Next, sauté some sliced onions on the grill and season with Chef Henri's Vampires Bane until carmelized.
Grab a Pub bun and spread some more of the Smoked Bacon CheeseButta® on the top and bottom bun and place in the Air Fryer on the broil setting until nice and golden brown.
Cook the French fries and at the end add some of the Smoked Bacon CheeseButta® on top of the fries and place in the Air Fryer to finish them off.
- If you want to get crazy you can add a dash of the Vampire's Bane to the finished French Fries
- Or take some mayonnaise and ketchup, mix together and add some Vampire's Bane and a bit of the Kickin' Cajun, stir and enjoy a fresh take on a Fry Sauce.

Recipe Note
Who Invented The Bacon Cheeseburger?
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) On June 20, A&W Restaurants, the credited inventors of the bacon cheeseburger, will celebrate their 100th anniversary.
Dale Mulder, an A&W franchisee, is credited with inventing the bacon cheeseburger, according to the company. He went on to become the president of A&W and is still the chairman today.
When And Where Did The Bacon Cheeseburger First Appear?
LANSING, Mich. (WXYZ) – Bacon atop a cheeseburger was an addition that forever transformed an already great cuisine.
Bacon cheeseburgers are already quite prevalent on menus, but did you know that the first bacon cheeseburger was created in Lansing, Michigan?
The restaurant was located on US Highway 16, which was used to travel between Detroit and Grand Rapids. However, the development of Interstate 96 harmed the company because potential customers were now bypassing the area.
“In the restaurant world, a bacon burger became a significant item,” Mulder added. “And everyone else took it from us,” says the narrator.
While some critics question the origins of the bacon cheeseburger, Mulder claims to know where it came from.
A cheeseburger is a hamburger topped with cheese. Traditionally, the slice of cheese is placed on top of the meat patty. The cheese is usually added to the cooking hamburger patty shortly before serving, which allows the cheese to melt. Cheeseburgers can include variations in structure, ingredients and composition. As with other hamburgers, a cheeseburger may include toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
In fast food restaurants, the cheese used in cheeseburgers is usually processed cheese. Other meltable cheeses may be used as alternatives. Common examples include cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, blue cheese, and pepper jack. Popular restaurants that sell cheeseburgers include McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and many more.
