I found this recipe on one of those free recipe cards that they have on display in grocery stores. These are good enough to make again and again. The bacon and cheese kept them nice and juicy. They're very good with Creamy BBQ Sauce. I decided not to top mine with cheese so I could get a photo of the burger and also because there was already cheese inside of it.
