One word...okay two.. NO LEFTOVERS!!!!!!!!!!! yummy.. next time.. need to double this one.

Quarter pounders coated with a dry spice rub, which forms a tongue-tingling crust on the outside of the burger and provides a delicious contrast to the sharp cheddar cheese filling.

• 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 4 rolls

Prepare the grill for cooking over med heat. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, spices, salt, and pepper and stir until blended. Set aside. Using your hands, form the beef into 8 patties of equal size. In a small bowl, toss the cheese and crumbled bacon together until well combined. Place an equal amount of the cheese mixture on 4 of the patties. Top each with one of the remaining patties and pinch the edges to seal in filling. Generously pat each burger with the spice mixture. Grill until desired degree of doneness. About 5 minutes per side for medium.
