Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 Spanish onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 heaping tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• Kosher salt and freshly ground peppe

Directions

1. Turkey

2. Ground turkey tastes great in this combo-just make sure to use a mix of white and dark meat (90 percent lean) and cook for 5 minutes per side.

3. Bacon

4. This serious burger comes with two strips of bacon. Bobby likes them crisp.

5. Onion Rings

6. To make shoestring rings, heat 1 quart peanut oil to 360 degrees in a deep, heavy pot. Dredge thin Vidalia onion rings in flour seasoned with salt, pepper and cayenne; dip in buttermilk seasoned with salt and pepper, then dredge in more flour. Fry until golden brown, turning once or twice, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt.

7. Cheddar

8. This extra-smoky burger calls for two thick slices of smoked sharp cheddar cheese.

9. Bobby’s BBQ Sauce

10. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the onion; cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/3 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except salt and pepper); simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

11. Transfer the mixture to a food processor; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a bowl; cool to room temperature. Spoon on burgers.
