Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 5 bacon strips
  • 5 hamburger buns, split
  • Leaf lettuce, tomato slices and onion slices, optional

Method

  • In a small bowl, combine the egg, cheese, onion, soy sauce, ketchup and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into five patties. Wrap a bacon strip around each; secure with a toothpick.
  • Grill patties, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Discard toothpicks. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and onion if desired.
