Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients:
6 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons barbeque sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
11/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 medium onion, finely chopped
12 hamburger buns, split
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, barbeque sauce and
garlic powder using your hands. Taking a small handful at a time (approximately 1/4
pound), shape into 12 patties. Lay patties out on a cookie sheet and cover with
plastic wrap; place patties in the refrigerator.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until
evenly brown, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with
a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat down to
medium and pan fry the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until
soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. Mix together onions
and bacon in a small bowl.
Prepare a grill or large skillet for medium heat.
As the grill heats, pull beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 of the patties with
1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture each, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top
each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
Grill or pan fry the stuffed and sealed patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve
burger buns with condiments of your choice.
