Cooking spray
1 ounce pancetta, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 slices)
1/3 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1
Prepare grill or broiler.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add the pancetta to pan; cook 4 minutes or until crisp.

Combine onion mixture, pepper, salt, seasoning, and beef in a bowl. Shape beef mixture into 8 (1/4-inch-thick) patties. Top each of 4 patties with pancetta and 2 tablespoons Swiss cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edge. Top with remaining 4 patties; pinch edges to seal.
