Bacon Bleu Cheese Burgers

Every now and then I want a burger fresh off the grill (or out of the broiler if the weather doesn’t permit the grill).  I want it full of flavor so each bite is a taste treat.  These burgers do just that and hubby loves them as much as I do.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces ground beef, 96/4 (96% lean)
• 1 ounce bleu cheese, cut into two pieces
• 4 slices center cut bacon
• Salt, pepper, granulated garlic
• Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Add salt, pepper and granulated garlic to the ground beef, mixing with your hands
2. Divide in half
3. Flatten out each half and place the bleu cheese in the center of each
4. Roll up, sealing the edges
5. Wrap two slices of bacon around each rolled up burger, securing with toothpicks as necessary
6. Grill, turning frequently until bacon and beef are cooked to your liking.
7. Plate, remove toothpicks and enjoy
