Break up burgers into a bowl and combine all ingredients except bacon and cheese.
Reshape into little patties, stuffing a small bit of cheese into the center of each patty, making
sure to completely surround the cheese with the beef. Grill until the beef is at least to a
medium temp. Serve on biscuits or buns or atop a lettuce leaf and tomato slice and finished
with burger and bacon sauce.
