4 slices bacon
1 lb ground beef (they said 85% lean, I mixed moose and some regular burger...I think it actually was cow, but someone's actual cow, not store bought....)
1 tbsp whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's...I'm not sure I used that, I used whatever Ray currently had in the cupboard)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp cola (it probably was Diet Coke....we usually have that and Coke Zero in the house)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 slices cheddar (they suggested smoked cheddar, which I think would be good, but I couldn't find it - at least not at a price I was willing to pay - at Fred Meyer)
4 buns (they said pretzel, which would be good, but I just had regular ones)
Preheat outdoor grill.
Cook bacon until crisp.
Mix beef, whisky, cola, Worcestershire sauce and spices in a bowl. Divide into 4 portions. [So I actually doubled the recipe, but only made 6 burgers to make them a little larger.]
Cook burgers on outdoor grill and then top with cheese and bacon and serve on a bun. Add toppings and condiments to your liking.
