1. Place all burger ingredients, except cheese and bacon, in a large bowl and use hands to combine; then form into four 2cm thick burgers.

2. Spray a barbecue hotplate or char-grill liberally with non-stick cooking spray and heat to medium-hot. Place burgers on preheated hotplate. After 5 minutes, turn the burgers and add bacon to hotplate. Cook for 2 minutes longer, then turn bacon and top each burger with a slice of cheese. Continue cooking burgers and bacon for another 2 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

3. Lightly toast rolls, then spread base of each roll with a little mayonnaise. Top with bacon, beef burgers, tomato and lettuce. Drizzle with dressing, then top with remaining roll halves.
