Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 medium jalapeños, diced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 burger buns
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 6 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and diced jalapeños. This will be your filling.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 12 equal portions and form each into a thin patty roughly the size of your palm.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of six patties, leaving a border around the edges.
Place the remaining six patties on top of the filled ones and carefully press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no gaps where the filling could leak out.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the burgers with a spatula to retain the juices.
During the last minute of cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun bottom, topping it with lettuce, a tomato slice, pickles (if using), and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Texas Stuffed Grilled Burgers!
