All-American Cheeseburgers

Adapted from: Taste of Home Magazine June/July 2012

2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. steak sauce
1/4 tsp. cider vinegar
1 lb. ground beef
4 sliced sharp cheddar cheese
8 cooked slices bacon
Toppings of your choice

In a large bowl, combine first seven ingredients. Pour over beef and mix well. Shape into four patties; grill burgers, covered, until done. Add cheddar cheese and continue to cook until cheese is melted.

I came across this recipe in the Taste of Home magazine on my Kindle, and I knew that it was one that we had to try. Luckily, we had the whole family over to celebrate Father's Day a couple of weeks ago, and we thought it was the perfect time to give this recipe a shot. I typically don't like to try a new recipe on the whole family, but with all of these awesome ingredients, I thought it quite necessary. Vann actually threw everything together the night before so that the meat could marinate all night, and I think that made a huge difference as well. It really allowed all of the flavors to blend together and soak into the beef. These tasted incredible, and they were so juicy and tender. Next time we make these I would love to throw some pepperjack cheese on the burger with the cheddar, and I think some french fried onions would be great as well. This recipe is a definite keeper!
