"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Neely's Dry Rub seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Butter
6 brioche buns
6 slices pepper jack cheese
12 slices smoked apple wood bacon, fried crisp
1/2 cup Neely's "Secret Sauce", recipe follows
1 pint cole slaw (recommended: Neely's Cole Slaw)
2 beef steak tomatoes, sliced
Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a large mixing bowl, break up the meat with your hands. Add the chopped shallot, garlic, Neely's Dry Rub, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Using your hands, divide the meat into 6 equal balls. Flatten them into patties and use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each burger. Cook's Note: This indent will help the burgers from puffing up while you grill them.

Grill the burgers, uncovered, for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and continue cooking for another 3 minutes for medium-rare, and 4 minutes for medium. Remove from grill and immediately top with the cheese.

Butter the buns and place on the grill. Toast for about 1 minute and remove from grill.

Build your burgers by topping with the bacon, Secret Sauce, coleslaw, and tomatoes. Add onion rings if desired.

Neely's Secret Sauce:

1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (recommended: Neely's BBQ sauce)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mix all the ingredients together in s medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, allowing the flavors to develop. Can be made a day ahead.
