Bacon Cheese Burger

Description

This isn't your ordinary bacon cheese burger with strips of bacon on top of the burger but the savory flavor of hickory smoked bacon coming from within the hamburger gently mixed together and topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato. That was a mouthful and you'll say this burger is a tasty mouthful!
