1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Place ground beef in a large bowl. Add egg, onion, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Refrigerate until ready to use. Remove from fridge 20-30 minutes before grilling. Set burgers on lightly greased grill over high heat for 2 minutes per side.

Top with bacon and cheddar.
