• BBQ Pit Boys barbecue sauce
• Fresh tomato

Directions

1. Smoke the pork belly bacon until crispy and set aside.

4. Once the patties are almost cooked, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the remoulade sauce by mixing one part mayonnaise and two parts BBQ Pit Boys barbecue sauce with diced pickles.
6. Toast the French baguette until crispy.
7. Assemble the burger by placing the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the baguette, topped with smoked bacon, fresh tomato, Vidalia onion, and lettuce.
