Cheddar Bacon Hamburgers

By Addie

Choose a smoky, full-flavored bacon for this burger, which takes a traditional topping and mixes it right into the meat. The cheese in the burger helps form a crusty exterior, adding another layer of flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup real bacon bits
• 4 hamburger buns

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat grill for high heat.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, Cheddar cheese, horseradish, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and bacon bits using your hands. Shape the mixture into 4 hamburger patties.

3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place hamburger patties on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Serve on buns.
