Here's the traditional indulgent American cheeseburger, slider-sized and topped with smoky bacon. Indulgent, yes, but it's just a mini burger with about 2 ounces of meat! Of course, you're going to want to eat more than one, but who's counting?

Caramelized Onion Cheeseburgers

Here we flavor sweet, beefy buffalo (bison) with smoked cheese and smoky barbecue. Instead of melted on top, cheese is used here to season the meat--adding moisture and smoky flavor inside the burger. Wild rice bulks up the serving size (and adds vitamins and minerals), while keeping it lean. Plus the flavor and chewy texture are a wonderful complement to the meat. If you can't find buffalo in your store, substitute 90%-lean ground beef.

Why put the cheese on top of the burger when half of it just melts off--Instead, form the burger around the cheese so you can char the meat and safeguard the more delicate flavors. Use any mixture of hard or semihard cheeses-Emmentaler and Gouda or Asiago and Parmigiano-Reggiano also pair well.
