Ingredients

• 1 pound bacon
• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 slices white sharp cheddar
• 4 slices yellow sharp cheddar
• 4 slices white mild horseradish cheddar
• 4 slices yellow mild cheddar (Try sweet red cheddar if you can find it!)
• 4 buns
• Green leaf lettuce
• 1 medium white onion, sliced

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon in a large frying pan, reserving the fat.
2. Rip up 1 slice of the white sharp cheddar and 1 slice of the yellow sharp cheddar and fold into the middle of each burger. Form 4 patties around the cheese. Season the beef with the salt and pepper.
3. Cook the patties in the bacon fat. Before they finish, melt a slice of the horseradish cheddar and a slice of the yellow mild cheddar on each burger. Cover the pan or tent to help the cheese melt.
4. BUILD YOUR BURGER: Bottom bun, lettuce, cheeseburger, bacon slices, onions, top bun. A gratuitous number of cheddars? No. Five would be crazy. But what are you going to do, three? No. Four's your number.
