Bacon Cheeseburger
- 4 ounces 96% lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 tablespoons 50% reduced-fat real bacon pieces (I used Hormel 50% Reduced-Fat Real Bacon Pieces)
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- Salt, to taste
- 1 (about 3 1/2-inch-diameter) whole-wheat or whole-grain hamburger bun
- 1/2 ounce light Swiss cheese slivers.
- 1 small leaf green lettuce
- 3 (1/4-inch-thick) slices plum tomato
- 1 tablespoon ketchup or barbecue sauce
- Preheat a grill to high.
- In a small bowl, mix the beef, bacon, and onion until well combined.
- Shape the beef into a patty about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than the bun.
- Lightly sprinkle both sides of the patty with salt.
- Grill the burger 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached.
- (Do not smash the burger with a spatula.)
- Just before the burger is done, place the bun halves, insides face down, on a top grill rack or away from open flame to toast them.
- Add the cheese atop the patty to melt, 15 to 30 seconds.
- Place the toasted bun bottom on a plate.
- Add the burger patty, the lettuce, and the tomato slices.
- Spread the ketchup or barbecue sauce over the inside of the bun top and flip it atop the burger.
- Serve immediately.
