Recipe

• 1 i actually made a spicy mayo for this burger mixing mayonnaise with cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and just a little tabasco. i didn't include it in the recipe, but am listing it here for those who would like to try it as well.
• 2 in a mixing bowl, mix the ground beef, scallions, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, tabasco sauce (as much as you like) and then shape into 12 thin patties.
• 3 on top of 6 patties, mound up the bacon, then the cheese. top with other patties and seam together at edges, just pressing with fingertips.
• 4 grill or pan fry burger (whatever you prefer)until desired doneness.
• 5 spread the mayo on the bottom bun and place a patty. top with whatever you'd like and enjoy.
