BACON AND DATE GOAT CHEESE BURGERS
Every bite of this burger is a rich and decadent combination of sweet and savory. If you can't find maple bacon in your local store, you can add 1-1/2 tablespoons maple syrup to the spinach-goat cheese mixture in the food processor and use regular bacon. -Sharon Michelle Anglin, Livingston, Montana
