Fire up the grill, and spend some time outdoors making these mouthwatering Grilled Meat Lover's Biscuit Cheeseburgers. Sizzling bacon, ground beef and sausage join forces to create fantastic flavors in an unbeatable handheld burger. And the best part of this recipe is that the grill does double duty—as the burgers cook on one side, your biscuits "bake" over indirect heat on the other!
