How to Make Bacon Tomato Burger

1. In a bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
2. Mix the beef mixture lightly to avoid toughening the burgers.
3. Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
4. Preheat grill to medium heat or heat a large skillet over medium heat.
5. **Grill:** Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the burgers for 5-8 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
6. **Pan-fry:** Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the burgers for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Cover the skillet for even cooking. Reduce heat to medium-low if the burgers brown too quickly.
7. Serve immediately on your favorite buns with your choice of toppings such as onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, mayonnaise, relish, or dill pickles.
