Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

This was pretty easy and cooked up in under an hour.

1 lb lean hamburger
1/2 lb bacon
1 sweet onion, roughly chopped
1 can petite dice tomatoes (14.5?)
relish
Worcestershire sauce
hamburger buns
shredded cheddar cheese
ketchup and mustard

Cook bacon and set aside. (I actually cooked it with the burger, but I think this will be a bit better). Cook burger and onion together in remaining grease. If there is a lot of grease, pour it off. I did not have hardly any. Add undrained tomatoes. Add relish and sauce to taste. Heat thoroughly.

While all that is happening, take the bottoms of the buns and line a 13"x9" pan with them (six worked). Put them in the oven to broil until toasted. Cut each bun into quarters for easier serving.

Pour meat mixture over buns. Add a layer of crumbled bacon and cheese. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard. Cut up the tops of the buns and spread across the top. Bake at 300 degrees until cheese has melted and buns are somewhat toasted.
