Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup beer (any brand will do)
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 tbsp. maple syrup (you wanna use the real stuff but the pancake syrup will do just as well)
3 slices American cheese (or whatever cheese you prefer)
3 Hamburger buns
Directions
1) Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, beer and pepper. Form into 3 Hamburger patties.
2) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a baking rack on a foil lined pan. Place bacon on the rack and bake for 15-20 minutes. Carefully remove pan from oven. Brush bacon with the maple syrup. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until bacon is crispy. Set aside.
3) Grill burgers approximately 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook an additional 3 minutes. Top each burger with cheese and melt.
4) Place burgers on bun and top each burger with 2 slices of bacon. Top with any additional burger toppings of your choice.

With this recipe you really can use either syrup. The pure maple syrup can be a lot more expensive and I'm sure just like our family ,you try to save and buy stuff on sale or what you can afford. I used the pancake syrup this time and it still came out so good. Definitely was a big hit in our home.
