Stuffed Burgers

My family and I made stuffed burgers for the first time on Father’s Day and they turned out amazingly delicious! If you’re a burger lover, these double-burgers with your toppings on the inside are for you.

Ingredients:
2 Pounds Ground Chuck
2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
Salt & Pepper
6 Strips of Bacon
1/2 Onion, chopped
1 Cup Grated Chedder Cheese
(or 1 container Bleu Cheese)
6 Burger Buns
Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles…any toppings you want!

Get Grillin:

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.
• In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy, set aside on paper towel-lined plate.
• In the bacon grease, saute the onions until tender.
• Crumble desired amount of bacon and combine in a bowl with cheese and onions, set aside.
• In a bowl, combine ground chuck, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Then form 12 ½ thick patties.
• Form a small spoon full of bacon, cheese, and onion mixture. Place mixture in the center of 6 of the patties. Top each with a pattie and seal the edges tightly leaving no holes or cracks.
• Grill the burgers over medium heat,flipping only once and avoiding squishing the burgers down. For well-done burgers, they should be cooked 15 minutes on each side. For medium they can be cooked 5 minutes on each side.
• Garnish burgers with desired toppings and enjoy!

*My family made some Bleu Cheese and bacon burgers, and some Cheddar and bacon – both turned out great. We did use Frank’s Red Hot Sauce as well as some Louisiana hot sauce.
