  • Prep 55 min
  • Total 0 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
  • 4 slices center-cut bacon (about 3 1/2 oz), cut crosswise in half

Steps

  • 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.

  • 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.
