By lisalang

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoon(s) dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) chipotle powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper
• 1 pound(s) ground beef
• 1/2 cup(s) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 slice(s) bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 4 rolls

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium. Combine the sugar, spices, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Form the beef into 8 equal patties. Toss the cheese and crumbled bacon together and place an equal amount on 4 of the patties.
Place the remaining patties over the cheese and bacon and pinch the edges to seal. Generously pat each burger with the reserved spice mixture. Grill to desired doneness -- about 5 minutes per side for medium.
