Spicy burgers with avocado and grilled bacon

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with burgers. I love the combination of bacon and avocado, and I had found a "how to" for grilling bacon. Naturally, it dawned on me to put this grilled meat on top of more grilled meat, with the contrasting cool flavor of avocado (you can grill those too! Although this time I used them raw). Serve with some sweet potato fries, grilled corn, and a Corona, and you'll be in heaven! For the burgers: -Roughly 1 lb of 87/13 ground beef (any leaner than this and the patties won't hold together on the grill) This should make 4 burgers. -2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce -1/2-1 tsp hot sauce (depending on your spice tolerance, and the heat of the sauce you use. I used closer to 1/2 tsp for a Belizean habanero sauce). -1 tsp cumin -3/4 tsp mexican chili powder -3/4 tsp garlic powder -salt and pepper Mix the ingredients together; make patties and let stand for an hour or so in the fridge (cold patties hold together better).
