Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of cheddar cheese
Stiprs of bacon
1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Place a slice of cheese, some sautéed mushrooms, and chopped onions onto 4 of the patties.
Top with the remaining 4 patties and press the edges to seal the stuffing inside.
Wrap each burger with bacon strips until everything is covered.
Grill the burgers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add some jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the stuffing. If you have picky eaters, you can omit the mushrooms and onions and just use cheese for the stuffing. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack or blue cheese, to change up the flavor profile. For a smoky flavor, try adding a bit of smoked paprika to the beef mixture.
Enjoy!
