Grilled Hamburger Steaks with Bacon

1 pound extra-lean ground beef (hamburger)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic  minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon A-1 Steak Sauce (optional)
4 slices bacon

Either preheat broiler or preheat barbecue grill (oil hot grill to help prevent sticking).

In a medium bowl, mix together (using your hands) hamburger, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and A-1 Steak Sauce.

Form into two 2-inch thick patties. Wrap 2 bacon slices around each patty; secure with toothpicks and grill or broil approximately 7 minutes. Turn and grill or broil other side 5 minutes or until until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 160&degF. Remove from oven or grill and enjoy!
