Bacon Meatloaf Burgers
During the summer months, I cook outdoors as much as
possible. Burgers are always a huge hit with my family, so I try to make
different burgers just for variety! This recipe for bacon meatloaf burgers is a
huge hit. Although you can make this recipe as-is, using ground beef and pork
bacon, you can also make a lighter version using ground venison or turkey and
turkey bacon. Enjoy!
