Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Add beef; mix thoroughly. Shape into six patties. Wrap a bacon strip around sides of each patty; secure with a toothpick. , Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 5-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Discard toothpicks. Serve on buns.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• Fire up the grill (adding a little hickory to the coals adds some extra flavor).
• Mix raw beef, chopped onion, barbeque sauce and salt/pepper until thoroughly blended. (*Option if you have kids who will not eat visible onion is to mince the onion in a food processor rather than chopping. They will never know!).
• Form 4 large, thick 1/3 lb burgers.
• Wrap each burger's circumference with a strip of uncooked bacon and secure with a couple of toothpicks. (*Option if you prefer crisp bacon is to precook the bacon to about half done, let it cool slightly and then wrap each burger. With this method, the bacon is somewhat shrunk so two slices may be needed to surround each burger. It's a little messier prep, but the bacon ends up nice and crisp by the time the burgers are fully cooked.).
• Once wrapped you can flatten them out a little bit with the palm of your hand. The bacon will 'stretch' to accomodate the sirloin mixture.
• Sprinkle each side with your favorite grilling spices.
• Grill 10 minutes or so on each side or just until center is perfectly pink. (*I also get great results broiling in an iron skillet. Just be sure to place your rack on the highest setting and preheat both the oven and the skillet at 500 degrees before switching over to 'broil' and adding the burgers to the hot skillet. This way, you should not even have to flip the burgers -- juicy and delicious!).
• Dress as you like and enjoy! (Don't forget to remove the toothpicks!).

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, barbeque sauce and garlic powder using your hands.

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat down to medium and pan fry the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. Mix together onions and bacon in a small bowl.
• Prepare a grill or large skillet for medium heat.
• As the grill heats, pull beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 of the patties with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture each, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
• Grill or pan fry the stuffed and sealed patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on hamburger buns with condiments of your choice.
