+ 1 lb. ground beef
+ 1/4 c. beer

What to do:
1. Combine ground beef, beer and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in. thick patties.
2. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 min.

About 2 min. before burgers are done, place buns, cut-side down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted. During last minute of grilling, top each burger with cheese.
3. Place burgers on bottom of buns; top with bacon slices. Close sandwiches.

* Test Kitchen Tips:
Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
