Ingredients:

3 lbs ground beef,
1/4 cup chopped onions,
2 cups chopped raw bacon,
2 cups diced aged cheddar,
4 tbsp hoisin sauce,
1 tbsp worstershire sauce,
2 eggs,
1/2 cup breadcrumbs,
2 tbsp finely chopped garlic,
1/2 cup finely chopped herbs (tarragon, parsley and chives),
Salt and pepper to season.

Glaze:

1/2 cup BBQ sauce,
1/4 cup hoisin sauce,
2 tbsp honey,
1 tsp ground cinnamon.

Directions:

Sauté the bacon over medium heat until cooked through (reserve the fat). While the bacon and fat are still warm, pour them over the ground beef in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Then form mixture into burgers using BurgerMate, wrap in cling film and chill for at least one hour.

Glaze:

To make the glaze combine the barbeque sauce, hoisin sauce, honey and ground cinnamon. Grill the burgers on the BBQ and brush with the glaze every time you turn the burgers. Once cooked through serve with a final brushing of the glaze.
