The Texas Squealer Burger

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 lbs 80% lean ground beef
• 12 slices bacon, uncooked
• 1 -1 1/2 tablespoon grill seasoning (i use mccormicks mesquite)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon minced dried onion
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 begin by chopping the raw bacon finely with a sharp knife. i slice it in half, then in strips, then dice it. the key is to make it small. i do not recommend a food processor because it heats the bacon up too much and can become gummy.
• 2 gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and add the bacon. form into 6-8 patties and put in the freezer for 30 minutes before grilling. this is not a necessary step, but i think the meat holds together nicely when the patties go on cold.
• 3 grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving.
• 4 top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.
