Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Cheddar Burgers

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

One pound of ground beef should give you 4 burgers depending on the size you shape them feel free to double the recipe. you may also add in some breadcrumbs if desired. Have a spray bottle handy because of the bacon these tend to cause a bit of a flare-up on the grill.

Very good burgers. How can you go wrong with bacon and beef?

Kitten, We just finished up barbecueing a triple batch of these burgers up. They are phenomenal! I used BBQ sauce in the meat mixture and topped with sauteed onions instead of putting them in the burger. The flavor was excellent. I topped these burgers with some tomato and lettuce.

You are kidding me right? No way does 1 lb. of beef make 5-6 burgers, more like 2-3 at my house :D We like our beef here, and when we have a burger, we want a BURGER! I used ketchup in ours instead of the barbecue sauce. We like ours med-rare, so we didn't cook them all the way through. They were awesome! Thanks Kittencal.
