Ingredients

7

slices bacon

28

fancy toothpicks

28

cherry tomatoes

3

leaves romaine lettuce, cut into 28 (1 1/2-inch) pieces

1/2

                        cup Original Bisquick™ mix

1

lb ground beef

1

egg

1/4

cup mayonnaise

1

teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4

teaspoon salt

1/4

teaspoon pepper

2

oz Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 cup)

Preparation

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning often, until browned but not overly crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Cut each bacon slice into 4 pieces.

On each toothpick, thread 1 tomato half, 1 bacon piece and 1 lettuce piece; set aside.

In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients except cheese. Fold in cheese. Shape tablespoonfuls of mixture into meatballs; flatten slightly to resemble hamburgers.

In same skillet, heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Cook burgers in drippings 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink. Insert 1 toothpick in each burger; serve immediately.
