Ingredients

  • 2 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 6 cubes (1 inch) American cheese (about 4 oz)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 1 box (4.9 oz) Betty Crocker™ Ultimate loaded mashed potatoes
  • Water, butter and milk called for on potato mix box
  • 1 pouch Cheese Sauce (from potato mix box)
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream
  • 3/4 cup French-fried onions

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix beef, Worcestershire sauce and garlic salt. Shape mixture into 12 thin patties, about 4 inches in diameter. Place cheese cube on 6 of the patties; top each with bacon. Top each with 1 remaining patty; press edges to seal.
  • 2
    Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F.
  • 3
    Make mashed potatoes as directed on box, using water, butter, milk and Cheese Sauce pouch. Top each burger with sour cream and onions. Serve with mashed potatoes.

  • Kick up the spice a notch by using pepper Jack cheese instead of American.
  • To save some time, look for precooked bacon near the luncheon meat section at the grocery store.
