2     eggs, lightly beaten

2     cloves garlic, minced

In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients.  Crumble beef over mixture and mix.  Divide seasoned hamburger into 8 flattened patties.  To retain shape, press a large shallow dent into the center of each patty.   Wrap a bacon strip around each.  Secure with toothpicks. In a large skillet, cook burgers until well done.  Remove toothpicks.  Serve on toasted buns with lettuce and condiments of your choice.
