If you do not have a meat grinder, hand slice your bacon into the smallest lardons that you can to help incorporate it into the meat

If you have a meat grinder, have your bacon thawed out but chilled in the freezer for 20-30 mins prior to grinding to help it grind easier

Put you ground beef in a mixing bowl and grind your bacon into the bowl or hand mix it in if you had to slice it

Using your hands mix the beef and bacon together until everything is evenly incorporated

Now add all of your remaining burger ingredients and mix well with your hands and them form into four 1/2 lb patties. They will shrink so this is perfect size

Once formed, let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes which is a perfect time to knock out your sweet potatoes

Once ready, preheat your grill and go to town. Cook the burgers to an internal temp of 165 degrees which at 400-450 should take 20-25 minutes

Boil your sweet potatoes in a pot of water until fork tender

Drain from water and add them to a mixing bowl or stand mixer

Add your grassfed butter and bury it in the potatoes to let it start melting and then all the rest of your remaining ingredients

Mix well with a hand mixer or hand mash them or go to town with your stand mixer and let it do all the work

Once everything is mixed, serve
