Even though Jackie Madill made the recipe up just this week, she had so many requests come in for one, she put one together! See it below!

SEATTLE -- If you're planning on tailgating for the Seahawks game (or if you want to grill it  up at home!) you will definitely want to make this burger. Trust me. I don't want to say that ate my half and almost ate the rest of the PLATTER afterwards, but, well, I would have.

Watch Jackie Madill show you how to put bacon IN the ground beef AND on top of the burger; along with Beechers cheese, grilled apple, and even blackberries. Yes, it's non-traditional, but our entire crew polished off every last crumb, so be the most popular person at the tailgate by making these gems! More ideas: wabeef.org
