Inside Out Swiss Sirloin Burgers
Recipe adapted from the Canadian Beef Information Centre. These lean Canadian beef burgers really sizzle: spiked with smoky bacon, chunks of Canadian Swiss and punchy horseradish. Try them either on the grill or cooked in the oven. Other cheese options to try: Canadian Mozzarella, medium Cheddar, Provolone or Gouda.

1-1/3 lb LEAN CANADIAN GROUND BEEF
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
1 egg
4 oz CANADIAN SWISS CHEESE, finely diced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Garnish:
6 whole wheat burger buns
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp barbecue sauce
6 slices of tomato
6 thin slices of red onion
6 lettuce leaves, washed and pat-dried
Method/Steps
1. Combine beef and bread crumbs, bacon bits, parsley, horseradish, egg, Swiss cheese, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl; divide into 6 portions and form into 3/4 inch thick patties. Make a thumb-print depression in centre of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make-ahead: Refrigerate, covered, for 1/2 hour or up to 1 day.
2. Grill over medium heat on preheated, oiled grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, testing doneness with a digital instant read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty to ensure patties are cooked to 160°F. Oven-bake: place patties on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in 425°F oven.
3. Meanwhile combine ketchup and barbecue sauce and toast burger buns.
4. Spread ketchup mixture on burger buns. Garnish burgers with tomato and onion slices and lettuce.
