Mix ingredients in a bowl and form into 12 balls.

Flatten into patties. I like to press the middles in, it makes the burgers cook flat. Grill over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side.

During the last two minutes, top with cheese and transfer to a bun. Serve with lettuce and tomato.

Cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook in a pan until crisp and golden brown. Set aside.

Grill hot dogs over medium high heat. Remove from the grill.

Tear off a piece of tin foil. Add the bun to the foil, slice a piece of cheese in half. Place half in the bottom of the bun. Add the hot dog and some bacon bits.

Top with the other half of cheese. I like to tuck the cheese tightly around the dog. It keeps the bacon bits secure in the bun.

Loosely close the foil around the hot dog.

Put back on the grill for 2 minutes. Or until the cheese melts. Unwrap and serve.
