Bacon-Beer Cheeseburgers

The weather finally broke in Columbus, Ohio, so I decided to celebrate by grilling out. I used my younger brother to run to the store and pick up some burger-making supplies (you don't have to use a younger brother... anyone with a drivers' licence or bike will do). In a large mixing bowl, I mixed together 1 lb of ground beef, some crumbled cheddar and swiss cheese, some cut-up strips of pre-cooked bacon, some beer (I used Blue Moon since that's what we had in our fridge), and an egg to hold it all together. I formed that hunk of meat into 5 smaller hunks of meat (also known as patties) and threw them onto an already-hot grill. (One trick that I use while grilling burgers is pouring a little beer on the burgers while they are cooking for extra flavor). I also cooked up some sliced bacon and toasted the buns in the grill when the burgers were almost done. Garnish with you favorite condiments, lettuce, tomato, cheese and bacon, and enjoy with some cold beer and you have yourself a nice backyard dinner (that is if you have a backyard. If not, just pretend).
