Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 mix preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded or cubed)
- 4 slices Cooked bacon slices (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely diced)
- 6 pieces Hamburger buns
- 6 leaves Lettuce (optional, for serving)
- 6 pieces Tomato slices (optional, for serving)
- to taste Ketchup (optional, for serving)
- to taste Mustard (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty about 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced onion. Mix well.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of 6 patties. Leave a small border around the edges.
Place the remaining 6 patties on top of the filled patties. Carefully press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no gaps where the filling can escape.
Brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Place the stuffed patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F for safe consumption.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill during the last minute of cooking, if desired.
Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Assemble each burger with lettuce, tomato slices, and your favorite condiments like ketchup or mustard. Serve immediately and enjoy!
