Cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels and drain. Pour off all but 1 T bacon grease.
Sear the meat by cooking in one whole block, on high, 1-2 minutes until brown and flip over and sear the other side.
Lower heat to medium, and cook and stir until crumbled and all meat is cooked through.
Lower heat to medium low and add 1/2 of the cheese, broken into small pieces, cooking and stirring until it’s melted in. Season with a dash of Dale’s and Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Place roll bottoms in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Break bacon strips into 2-3 pieces. Top bun bottoms evenly with meat and a couple pieces of bacon. Place cheese overall and place bun tops over cheese.
Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate until baking later if desired.
Bake at 350, loosely covered, for 25 minutes or until hot and melty
Burger Sauce
Combine glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook over medium until melted and combined. Brush liberally over bun tops.
