Stuffed Bacon Cheddar Burgers

Who doesn't love cheddar, bacon and burgers? I'm doing something a little bit different by making the burger patty mix and stuffing normal toppings on the inside of the burger so when you bite into it you get a nice surprise!

2 Stuffed Bacon Cheddar Burgers

1/2 lb Ground Beef (I am using 93% beef)
3-4 Shakes Worcestershire Sauce
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt & Pepper
1oz Cheddar Cheese - Shredded
2 Slices Bacon

Who doesn't love a bacon cheese burger? Mix all ingredients except for the cheese and bacon together, form into 4 thin patties (approximately 1/4" thick) and set to the side.

I keep my bacon in the freezer, I find that when I want to add little pieces of bacon to a recipe I can just cut across all the slices in 1/2" segments, toss them in a pan frozen and as it thaws and cooks it will break into the individual pieces and it cooks very quickly this way as well. That being said, either cook 2 slices of bacon to crisp and crumble or if you are like me cut (3) 1/2" slices across your bacon and bring the pieces to crisp.

In the center of two patties place the bacon & shredded cheese leaving a 1/2" border around the patty. Take the two patties without filling on them and place on top of the others, press the edges together to create a seal.

Grill or Pan Fry and serve on your favorite bun, your family will love the surprise in the middle!
