LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking as directed by manufacturer.
  • 2 Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix all ingredients except bacon. On work surface, pat mixture into 7-inch square. Cut into 4 (3 1/2-inch) squares. Top each square with 2 half-slices bacon; attach with toothpicks.
  • 3 Carefully spray grill rack with cooking spray. Place patties on unheated side of two-burner gas grill or over drip pan on charcoal grill (medium heat). (If using one-burner gas grill, cook over low heat.) Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly pink in center.
  • 4 Using spatula, turn patties over. Cover grill; cook 5 to 8 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F and bacon is crisp. Remove toothpicks before serving.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use Italian-style bread crumbs for a different flavor. You could also use pizza or spaghetti sauce for the ketchup.

Center-cut bacon has had the fatty ends cut off. You can use slices of regular bacon--just trim about 3/4 inch off of each end. The half-strips should just cover the surface of each beef square.

My family and I love this recipe. We dont eat a lot of bacon, so we left that part out. But I added some light brown sugar to the mix and it tasted wonderful. We are eating it tonight actually with sweet potato fries and fresh picked green beans. Can't wait. With fresh peaches for dessert!!
