Everyone comes running when they hear the sizzle-and smell the wonderful aroma-of these burgers on the grill. Nothing else captures the taste of summer.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pound ground beef
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/4 cup water
6 slices (1 ounce each) process American cheese
6 bacon strips
6 hamburger buns, toasted

Directions

In a bowl, combine ground beef, soup mix and water. Shape into 12 thin patties. Place a cheese slice on six patties. Cover each with another patty. Pinch edges to seal. Wrap a strip of bacon around each; fasten with a wooden toothpick.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Discard toothpicks. Serve on buns.
