Mix all “patty” ingredients together, form into six equal balls and fridge 4 hours – overnight, covered. Press into rounds slightly larger that the buns and freeze 3-4 hours between maxed paper.
Make simple guacamole and keep chilled.
Start coals or gas grill and heat to high, lightly grill buns (cut side only) and remove, then throw a small handful of oak chips on the fire, if you have them.
Cook bacon in pan, drain on paper towels and wrap in foil. These can be set on the back of the grill to re-heat just before using.
When grill is hot, place frozen patties evenly on surface and close the lid. Check occasionally for flare-up (these are high fat burgers) and perhaps have a spray bottle of water handy to keep the flames down.
I usually put the patties on a layer of foil to cook until almost done, then remove the foil to finish and add grill marks. Cook 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prep buns with mayo and guacamole (see below.)
Flip burgers and place 2oz of grated cheese on top of each. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Check to see if cheese has melted, if so, place three half-strips of bacon on each patty and remove from grill.
Assembly
Spread 1 Tbs of mayo on each bottom bun, and 2 Tbs of guacamole on each top bun.
Place bacon cheese-burger patty between them, add onion and lettuce, and serve immediately. (Best if patties are taken directly from grill and placed on waiting buns.)

Chef's Note & Story
My wife dubbed these, “Fully Awe-some" Burgers, as we were watching Bolt at the time, lol. If you don't get the reference, watch the movie! Rhino rules!
A simple coleslaw and some cubed, chilled watermelon go very nicely with this dish.
For big eaters, use the same about of meat to make 4 patties. Change ingredients to:
4 Oversized whole wheat burger buns (or your favorite)
2/3 cup simple guacamole (see below)
4 Tbs mayo
8 ounces smoked white cheddar cheese, grated
6 strips thick sliced bacon (I like maple) cooked and halved. (Kept warm)
2 medium Haas avocados, ripe. Peeled and diced.
2 tsp lime juice
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste.
