Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 3/4 cup Progresso® plain bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 6 slices crusty white bread, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

Heat gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking as directed by manufacturer.

Step 2

In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the ketchup and the honey; set aside. In large bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, pepper and egg. Stir in onion and bread crumbs. Stir in beef until well mixed.

Step 3

Shape beef mixture into 6 patties, 3/4 inch thick and about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap 1 slice bacon around each patty; secure with toothpick.

Step 4

Carefully spray grill rack with cooking spray. Place patties on unheated side of two-burner gas grill or over drip pan on charcoal grill (medium heat). (If using one-burner gas grill, cook over low heat.) Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly pink in center. Using spatula, turn patties over. Brush with ketchup mixture. Cover grill; cook 5 to 8 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F and bacon is crisp. Serve on bread.

These patties taste great on their own, but you may want to try serving them between bread slices as a sandwich.

If you spray your measuring tablespoon with cooking spray, the honey won't stick to the spoon.
