  4                     bacon strips
     1/4           cup  chopped onion
  1                can  mushroom pieces -- drained and finely
                        -- chopped (4-ounce)
  1              pound  lean ground beef
  1              pound  bulk pork sausage
     1/4           cup  grated parmesan cheese
     1/2      teaspoon  pepper
     1/4      teaspoon  garlic powder
  2        tablespoons  steak sauce
  8                     hamburger buns -- split and toasted
                        leaf lettuce -- optional

Preparation:

Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute onion in drippings until tender. Crumble bacon; add with mushrooms to skillet and set aside. Meanwhile, combine beef, pork, cheese, pepper, garlic powder and steak sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 16 patties. Divide bacon mixture and place over eight of the patties. Place remaining patties on top and press edges tightly to seal. Grill over medium coals until well-done (pork sausage in burgers requires thorough cooking). Serve on buns with lettuce if desired.
