  desired doneness. Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute
  of cooking to melt.
• 5 Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute or until lightly
  toasted.
• 6 Assemble the burgers: place lettuce, tomato, and onion on the bottom bun, add
  the beef patty with cheese, top with two slices of bacon, add any other desired
  toppings or condiments, and cover with the top bun.
• 7 Serve immediately.
