Turn patties over;

Cook 5 minutes,
or until beef is no longer pink in the center.
Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese. Grill, covered with grill lid, 1 minute, or until cheese melts.
Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun. Top each with bacon and barbecue sauce.
Top with bun.

Notes:

Toast buns on grill;
a swipe of melted butter makes them crispy.
Grill a sliced Vidalia onion on the grill alongside the burgers for an extra topping.
Lettuce, tomato and pickles would also pare well with these burgers.

Makes 4 servings.

Helpful Hints:

Peeled Too Many Potatoes?

* Submerse them in cold water to which a few drops of vinegar have been added. Keep refrigerated and they will last for 3 to 4 days.
* Leftover baked potatoes will sour quickly if stacked together in the refrigerator.

How to keep Garlic fresh as the day you bout them?

* Garlic cloves will never dry out if you store them in a bottle of cooking oil. After the garlic is used up, you can use the garlic-flavored oil for salad dressing.
