- salt and pepper
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 ounce maytag blue cheese
- 2 teaspoons butter, softened
- 1 ripe tomatoes

- If cooking over charcoal, secure a strip of bacon around the edge of the burgers with a water-soaked toothpick.
- If cooking indoors, cut the bacon strip in half and put one half diagonally across the side facing down to moisten the meat as it cooks.
