BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat.

Pour into a large bowl, and mix with steak sauce and ground chuck using your hands. Form into 16 patties.
• Place patties on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on top of each one during the last minute.
