Western Style Bacon Burgers

For hamburgers, consider adding crumbled bacon to the ground meat,
a dash of Worcestershire sauce, or breadcrumbs and beaten egg yolk.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoon(s) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 rolls, toasted

Directions:
Heat grill to medium.
Combine the sugar, spices, salt, and pepper
in a small bowl and set aside.
Form the beef into 8 equal patties.
Toss the cheese and crumbled bacon together
and place an equal amount on 4 of the patties.
Place the remaining patties over the cheese
and bacon and pinch the edges to seal.
Generously pat each burger with
the reserved spice mixture.
Grill to desired doneness,
about 5 minutes per side for medium.
