   While the patties are cooking, fry the curly fries in the hot canola oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

   Lightly toast the sesame burger buns on a skillet or grill.

   To assemble each burger: Place a leaf of iceberg lettuce on the bottom bun, add one beef patty with cheese, top with a second patty with cheese, add 2 slices of crispy bacon, and drizzle with 1 tbsp BBQ sauce. Cover with the top bun.
