Makes 4

Ingredients:

1 cup (4 oz.) Cheddar Cheese, divided
1/4 cup minced green onions (if tolerated)
2 Tbsp. real bacon bits or crumbled cooked bacon (4 strips fully cooked), if tolerated
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef chuck
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (if tolerated)


Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat broiler. You can also cook these on a large nonstick skillet on MEDIUM heat.

2. Combine 1/2 cup cheese, green onions and bacon; mix well and set aside. Combine meat, salt, pepper and remaining 3/4 cup cheese, mixing well. Shape mixture to form 8 thin patties 4-1/2 to 5 inches in diameter. Divide cheese and green onion mixture over 4 of the patties; top with remaining patties. Pinch edges together well to seal.

3. Grill or broil 5 to 6 minutes per side or until internal temperature of meat is 160°F. Serve in rolls with desired toppings.
