Directions
Combine hamburger, cheese, onion, ketchup, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Beat egg well and mix in well.
Form the mixture into and add 8 strips of bacon and place on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Don’t forget to line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!)
Make the sauce: add ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.
Bake for 45 minutes, then pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top. Bake for another 15 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
Bake at 350 degrees for and hour.
