2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

8 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese (shredded or sliced)

Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sirloin, Worcestershire sauce and horseradish; season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties. Heat the bacon fat in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook, turning once, for 8 minutes for medium. Melt the cheese on top of the patties during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, parsley, chives, dill and lots of pepper.
- Place the cheeseburgers on the roll bottoms and top each with 2 slices bacon and some watercress. Slather the bun tops with the sour cream sauce and set into place.
