Time for a Burger -All-American BBQ-Bacon Cheeseburgers


Willy thinks this would be a great hamburger - might be a little sissy - using the Kaiser roll - Might just want to use a big old traditional bun.

For a spicy variation - add jalapeno's either grilled or sauteed. I call that a Felix Burger -

--------
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce, (your favorite) divided
1 lb. ground beef
4 cheese Singles
4 kaiser rolls, split, toasted
4 lettuce leaves
4 thin tomato slices
4 slices lean Bacon, crisply cooked, broken in half

To Grill: To grill meat patties, heat grill to medium. Remove 1/4 of the barbecue sauce for later use. Grill patties 7 to 9 min. on each side or until cooked through (160ºF), turning and brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce for the last few minutes. Top with Singles; grill 1 min. or until Singles begin to melt. Continue as directed.

If you are in a hurry and want to use broiler - follow this:

HEAT broiler. Reserve 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Shape meat into 4 patties.

BROIL, 4 to 6 inches from heat, 7 to 9 min. on each side or until cooked through (160°F), brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce. Top with Singles. Broil 1 min. or until Singles begin to melt.

COVER bottom halves of rolls with lettuce and tomatoes; top with burgers, reserved sauce, bacon and tops of rolls.
