The burger patties should be cooked for four to five minutes on each side, or until they're done the way you like them

For the relish sauce, put the chopped pickled cherry peppers, mayonnaise, hot sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl and mix them together

Do this while the burgers are cooking

On a grill or griddle, toast the hamburger buns until they are just barely golden

Spread a lot of the pickled cherry pepper relish sauce on the bottom half of each bun before putting the burgers together

On top of the sauce, put a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice

Cover the tomato slice with a burger patty that has cheese on top of it

On each burger, put two strips of bacon
