Texas Squealer Burger

Texas Squealer Burger 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 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. 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. Grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. Allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.
