BLT Burgers

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 15 Min

Bring home the bacon and mix it into ground beef for a novel spin on a BLT. Our BLT Burgers taste awesome, 'cause cooked chopped bacon flavors the insides as they grill. Top 'em with crisp lettuce and fresh tomatoes for the complete BLT experience.

What You'll Need

1 1/4 pound ground beef
1/2 cup (10 slices) crisp-cooked chopped bacon (see Note)
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 hamburger rolls
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices

What to Do

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, bacon, and bread crumbs; mix well. Form mixture into 4 equal patties.
Grill burgers 8 to 12 minutes, or until no longer pink in center, turning halfway through grilling.
Evenly spread mayonnaise on both sides of rolls then top with lettuce, burgers, and tomato slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't want to use real bacon, it's fine to substitute bacon bits; 1/4 cup will do the trick!
