These burgers were amazing. I only have a few tweaks to the steps in the recipe. The bacon/onion/garlic mixture didn't seem to need draining b/c the bacon grease cooked up the onions/garlic without a lot of leftover fat. The steps were a little confusing b/c we didn't know whether the bread crumbs mixture was supposed to join the bacon mixture or the meat mixture and the small bowl for mixing never would have worked, so here are the steps we did:

-In a skillet cook bacon until sizzling, add onion and cook til translucent, after about 3 minutes add the garlic. Cook until bacon is slightly crisp. Leave in the skillet and remove from heat.

-Place the pork and beef in a large mixing bowl and add the spices. We added a cup of chopped fresh cilantro.

-Mix the water and the egg in a small bowl and add to the meat-mix well.

-Add the bread crumbs to the bacon mixture, mix well.

-In small increments, add the bacon/bread crumbs to the meat mixture. Mix well.

-We used a burger press to make perfect burgers. And I mean PERFECT! These were the best burgers we've ever had!
