Maple-Bacon Beer Burger

Directions:

1. Combine Ground Beef, beer, and Worcestershire in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
2. Shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
3. Preheat grill to medium.
4. Grill, uncovered, 7 to 9 minutes until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
5. About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place buns, cut-side down, on grid.
6. Grill until lightly toasted.
7. During last minute of grilling, top each burger with cheese.
   Cook's Tip: 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.
8. Place burgers on bottom of buns; top with bacon slices.
9. Close sandwiches.

Cook's Tip: Reduced-sodium or regular bacon may be substituted for Maplewood smoked bacon.
