Instructions

Prepare a medium hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make Red Cabbage Slaw, combine low fat mayonnaise, milk, white wine vinegar, sugar, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Shred red cabbage. Place red cabbage in a large bowl, coat evenly with dressing. Cover and refrigerate until serving. To make Horseradish Mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until serving. To make the patties, combine ketchup, worcestershire, horseradish, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Add mixture to ground beef. Combine, handling meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it. Divide mixture into six equal portions. Cut cheddar cheese in 12 small cubes. Form each pattie around 2 cubes of cheese,be sure to cover cheese completely with meat. Brush the grill with oil. Place 12 slices of bacon on grill and cook about 1 minute on each side. Remove bacon from grill and set aside. Place patties on grill and cover, cook for about 4 minutes until bottoms are nicely browned. Turn patties and cook for approximately 5 minutes (or until desired doneness). While patties are cooking peel and slice apples you should have between 12-18 slices, set aside. During the last few minutes of cooking slice kaiser rolls, spread rolls with butter. Place rolls cut side down along edges of grill. Toast lightly. To assemble burgers, place a generous amount of horseradish mayonnaise on the top cut side of rolls (about 1/2 tsp). Place two slices of bacon on the cut bottoms of rolls. Place patties on top of bacon, put about a 1/4 cup of red cabbage slaw on top of pattie, place 2-3 apple slices on top of the slaw, cover with the top roll and serve.
