KY HOT BROWN BURGER

Ingredients

• 1 pound Kentucky Cattlemen's Ground Beef (or patties)

Cheese Sauce

• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Toppings

• 4 slices of bacon
• Tomato slices

Instructions

1. Sprinkle Dan-O's seasoning on both sides of burgers (1 tsp per burger or to your liking).
   
2. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
3. Mornay Sauce - Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add milk and whisk.  Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
4. Place burger on bun, and top each with 2 slices of bacon, tomato slice, and top with mornay sauce.
