GRILLED JUICY LUCY BURGERS

1 Lb. Ground Chuck
1/2 Lb. Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
4 Slices Cheese any type, sliced velveeta is very good

In a bowl, mix together the hamburger, crumbled bacon, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Form into 8 equal patties that have been pressed evenly to 1/2-inch thickness. Take each piece of cheese and lay on the patty. Leave a space around the outside edge of each patty. Take another patty and put on top of the first one making the cheese to be in the middle. Crimp the edges to make sure the cheese is completely sealed. Grill for 10-15 minutes turn when half done. When done the cheese in the middle will be very very hot so do not let a child start eating this right away but let it cool off some. The cheese will burn if spilled out of the burger onto a finger or hand.

POTATO PACKETS FOR THE GRILL

2 1/2 Potatoes, cut into 1Inch Cubes
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
2 Cups Mexican Four Blend Cheese, shredded
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
Butter Flavor Cooking Spray

Preheat the grill on low with the lid closed. In a large bowl combine the soup, cheese, sour cream, onion, salt and pepper and garlic powder and the parsley.  Peel and wash the potatoes then cut into small cubes. Pour the potatoes into the bowl of mixture. Make sure and coat all of them. Take a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil about 21/2 feet long and spray this with the cooking spray. Make sure all of alum. foil is sprayed really good. Pour the potatoes out onto half of the foil. Fold the other half over and then seal around the edges. Fold over the edges several times. Cook until tender around 30 to 45 minutes. May take longer with each type of grill. The foil will expand but will not burst open. When opening watch out for the steam. You can also make these in the oven. Put the oven on 350 and let cook around 45 minutes or longer.
