Heart Attack on a Bun (aka, a Bacon Burger)

This recipe happened sort of by accident.  I had intended to make meatballs in my crock pot but misjudged how long it would take.  They turned into this.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. chopped raw maple flavored bacon (You could probably cook it first if you wanted it crispy for texture.)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup onion flakes
2 TBSP minced garlic or 2 cloves pushed through a press
salt and pepper to taste

1. Put all ingredients in a sturdy gallon-sized zip top bag.
2. Massage all ingredients until well-mixed.
3. Cut corner off of bag and squeeze mixture into patties.
4. Cook well in skillet or grill.  (The bacon keeps them from drying out.)
5. Melt a slice of cheese on top (optional).
6. Serve on lettuce or bun.
