Sometimes the simplest thing are the best as with this bacon cheeseburger recipe courtesy of the Ohio Beef Council and "Beef. It's What's for Dinner!" 

MAPLE-BACON BEER BURGER

Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef

1/4 cup beer

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split

4 slices reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

4 extra-thick slices Maplewood smoked bacon, cut in half, cooked crisp

Instructions

Combine Ground Beef, beer and Worcestershire in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.

Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place buns, cut-side down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted. During last minute of grilling, top each burger with cheese.

Place burgers on bottom of buns; top with bacon slices. Close sandwiches.

Test Kitchen Tips:  Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
