Bacon Chili Cheeseburgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb Laura’s Lean Beef 96% Lean Ground Sirloin
- 1 â„2 c Heinz chili sauce
- 1 â„2 T chili powder
- 2 strips bacon cooked crisp and cut into pieces
- 4 T fat-free thousand island dressing
- 2 oz low-fat muenster cheese grated
- Shredded lettuce and chopped tomato for garnish
- Extra chili powder for garnish
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium high. Mix beef with chili sauce and chili powder. Shape into 4 burgers and cook to desired degree of doneness.
- While burgers cook, stir bacon into dressing.
- When burgers are almost done, top each burger with 1/2 ounce of cheese.
- To serve, top each burger with shredded lettuce, 1 heaping tablespoon of the bacon dressing, some chopped tomato and a sprinkle of chili powder.
Notes
There’s just enough bacon here to satisfy the “bacon-makes-everything-great†craving. To keep it lean, use 96% lean ground sirloin, low-fat cheese and fat-free thousand island dressing. You won’t miss a bun with a burger this great.
Party idea: Make these into small, bite-size meatballs and serve with bacon dressing as a dipping sauce.

Last weekend I was cooking for this recipe – fantastic delicious Ñheeseburgers. Thank you!
Oh, my gosh! This looks delicious! I have a picky eater, but one thing I can always get him to eat is hamburger with fixins! I’m trying it this weekend!
My family loves lean ground beef and we enjoy healthy hamburgers much like your recipe. The key to yummy ground beef meals is to always use the best quality, low fat premium grade ground beef (mince beef to the Brits and Aussies). I also make tasty non-fatty meat loaves with nuts and dried fruit served with salsa for a modern fresh taste.
Wow!!! It looks so tasty!!! I bet my hubby is going to LOVE It!!!!
Yummmm! These look awesome! We just had hamburgers last night but now I want another one. Such a great summer meal idea. 🙂
