All-American Burgers

although I usually like my burgers medium-rare, with the extra ingredients added, I found that these burgers were too soft unless cooked well-done, the taste is fabulous!!

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs  85% lean ground beef (chuck)
• 1  cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8  slices bacon, cooked, chopped fine
• 4  teaspoons yellow mustard
• 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Break beef into small pieces in medium bowl. Add cheese, bacon, mustard, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Using a fork, toss until evenly distributed. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and lightly pack into 1-inch thick patties.
2. When grate is hot, dip wad of paper towels in vegetable oil, and use tongs to rub oil over grate. Grill burgers over very hot grill, without pressing down on them, until well seared on both sides and cooked through, 8-12 minutes. Transfer to plate, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Serve.
