Bacon-wrapped Burgers with Blue Cheese sauce with a side from your pantry

These burgers were good. My husband is the grill master and does great burgers on his own, and I prefer them. But, it was nice to try something different. We had mac and cheese (from the box) as a side with these. Mainly because we'd had a big day at the local water park and watned something quick.

Bacon-wrapped Burgers with Blue Cheese sauce

1 1/4 lbs hamburger (we used 1 lb. since we really only use 3 burgers)
1 1/2 tea. seasoning salt
4 slices bacon
1/4 c. sour cream
1/4 c. crumbled blue cheese (we used gorgonzola- I like it better, it has a stronger flavor)
1 tea. chopped chives (I didn't buy these because I didn't want to waste the extra, but wish I had)
Hamburger buns (as many as you'll need)

Heat the grill, over med-high heat.

In a large bowl, combine the hamburger and seasoning salt until mixed through. Shape into patties, about 1 inch thick. Wrap bacon around each burger, covering the outer edges (secure with a toothpick if necessary). Place burgers on hot grill and cook until cooked through, about 5 min. per side.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, blue cheese, and chives. Place burgers on buns and top with the blue cheese sauce.

Mac and Cheese
Make as directed on box.

Or make a different side that you are in the mood for.

Plate and enjoy!
