John Cottrell’s Fancy Italian Bacon Burger Roll-Ups
Ingredients:
1 sheet of Saran wrap
8 strips Bacon, regular or thick sliced
1 pound lean hamburger meat, uncooked
1 egg
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder or garlic salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hamburger meat, egg, cheese, bread crumbs and garlic salt.
Mix well by hand and set aside.
Place the Saran wrap on a flat surface and layer slices of bacon crosswise, overlapping slightly.
Spread the meat evenly over the overlapping slices of bacon.
Roll up the bacon and beef mixture like a jelly roll and wrap tightly with Saran wrap.
Set in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours to let the mixture set.
Remove the Saran wrap and cut the loaf into inch-thick burgers.
Broil until done on one side, about 7 minutes, then turn and broil on the other side until done.
Makes about 8 burgers. (Show #208)
