Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pancetta on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, flipping the slices halfway through, until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  • Meanwhile, using your hands, combine ground chuck, salt, chili powder, and paprika in a bowl, and season with pepper. Shape into 4 patties (about 4 inches in diameter).

  • Preheat grill to medium. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds.) Grill burgers 4 to 5 minutes. Flip burgers, and top with cheese. Grill 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove, and let rest 5 minutes. Top burgers with pancetta, and serve on buns.

These were a hit with me and my husband. Good flavor! I used turkey bacon instead of pancetta; they were yummy! The patties do shrink quite a bit, so make them wider than the diameter of your bun.

These are good but the flavor of the fontina was a bit lost. Make sure you remember to really flatten out your patties or they will puff up...like mine. =)
