Ingredient List
- 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
- 3 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
- 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

Preparation
- Heat gas or charcoal grill.
- In medium bowl, mix beef, bacon, green chiles, 3 tablespoons of the green onion and the salt. Divide mixture into 12 pieces (about 1/4 cup each), and shape into oval patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Grill over medium heat (350°F to 400°F) 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 160°F. During last 2 minutes of cooking, place cheese slice on each patty. Reduce grill to low (250°F to 300°F).
- Place bowls wrapped in foil on low grill; heat 6 minutes, turning once.
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise and salsa.
- Divide lettuce among warm bowls. Top with patties, mayonnaise mixture, diced tomatoes and remaining tablespoon green onion and desired fresh toppings.
