Glazed Bacon-and-Cheese-Filled Burgers

Glazed Bacon-and-Cheese-Filled Burgers (Adapted from Country Living)

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground sirloin
2 ounces shredded sharp white cheddar
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 buns (I use our favorite Hamburger Bun recipe)

Preheat grill to medium.

In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, paprika, garlic, cumin, chipotle, pepper and salt.

Evenly divide the ground sirloin into 8 pieces and form each into a patty. 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 spice mixture. Grill to desired doneness - roughly 5 minutes per side for medium.

Makes 4 servings.
