Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Burgers Food

CHEESY BACON-STUFFED SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil.
• In large bowl, mix beef, salt and pepper until well blended. Shape into 12 patties, 1/4-inch thick. Place 2 cheese quarters and 2 bacon quarters onto centers of 6 patties; top with remaining patties. Firmly pinch edges to seal. Place on pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center of beef part of patties reads 165°F. Remove from oven; top each burger with 2 cheese quarters. Return to oven; bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mash avocado with fork. Add dressing; mix until well blended.
• Place 1 burger on bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each burger with tomato slice, about 1 tablespoon avocado mixture and bun top.

THE BEST BACON CHEDDAR STUFFED BURGER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper and ¼ cup cheddar cheese. You may need to use your hand to get in evenly combined. Let stand (see cooking tips section above for reasons).
• Heat a medium skillet or non-stick pan to medium-high heat. Add bacon strips, cook for 3-4 minutes without touching. Rotate and cook other side 2-3 minutes, or until slightly crispy. Remove from heat, drain off excess oil, and break bacon into chunks.
• Divide meat mixture in half for each burger. Press about 2/3 off one half into the burger press (it should be almost full). Press top mold to create an open center. You may need to practice a couple times to get the right amount (see animated photo above for help). Fill one burger with 1/8 cup cheese, and half of cooked bacon and jalapeño. Top with more meat and use burger press to seal top down. Remove and repeat steps for second burger.
• Preheat barbecue (I used gas) to medium-high. Lightly grease grill slats with oil; this helps prevent sticking. Place patties onto grill, close, and cook first side for 4-6 minutes. It should release from the grill and have grill marks. Flip and cook other side for 4-6 minutes until cooked to desire doneness. With those times it should be just over medium. If you're used to using your fingers to test firmness, the stuffed center makes it more squishy, so be sure to not overcook.
• Grill hamburger buns if desired. Mash avocado in a bowl. Place burger patties in buns, top with avocado and enjoy the best juiciest burger.

BACON, ONION AND CHEESE STUFFED BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix. Warm a skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep heat on skillet and fry a pinch of the beef in the bacon fat to test seasoning. Adjust seasoning, if needed, then form 8 even thin patties, about 1/2-inch thick and set aside. Saute onions in bacon fat in skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Place onions and bacon in a bowl with cheese. Form a spoonful of bacon-cheese mixture into a ball, then place in the center of 4 patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges. Grill burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness is reached, approximately 4 minutes each side for medium. Serve in buns with garnishes. Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.

STUFFED BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the jack cheese and chopped bacon in a bowl. Put the beef in another bowl and season with salt and pepper; use a rubber spatula to mix it in. Flatten 1/4 of the meat mixture in the palm of your hand. Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture to make a little nugget; put it in the center of the ground beef. Bring up the sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is completely covered by the meat. Flatten slightly for a nice patty shape. Set them side by side on a platter in the refrigerator while preparing the grill.
• Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Grill the burgers for 8 minutes per side for medium. (The USDA recommends cooking ground beef until it is no longer pink and the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.) Remove the burgers to a clean side plate while you toast the buns.
• Rub the grill rack with more oil and place the buns cut-side down, toast for 1 minute. Serve the burgers with your favorite condiment and any garnish you like, such as lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and/or avocado.

CHEESE STUFFED BURGER (JUICY LUCY)

Steps:

• To a large skillet, add bacon strips and heat over MED-LOW heat. Cook until bacon is cooked to your desired crispness, then transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate to cool. Drain all but about a tablespoon of the bacon grease, reserving that last Tbsp in the pan.
• Increase heat under the same skillet to MED heat. Add sliced onion and cook 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove onions to a plate, and turn off heat.
• Divide the beef into 8 equal portions and shape into balls. On a flat surface, lay down a sheet of wax paper and top with a ball of ground beef. Top with another sheet of wax paper and use a flat bottomed pan to press the meat into 1/4-1/2 inch patties. Repeat with remaining patties.
• To one of the thin patties, top with 1/8 cup cheddar cheese, a tablespoon or two of the onions, and another 1/8 cup cheese. Leave a border around the patty. Top with another thin patty, pressing the edges of the top and bottom patty together to seal well. Shape into a thick burger patty. *See recipe notes section below for a video instruction link to this part*
• Double check burger to make sure there are no holes, then season well with salt and pepper.
• In the same skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and the butter and heat over MED heat. Add burgers to pan (I like to cook 2 burgers at a time to make sure I have room to flip them carefully), and cook approximately 8 minutes, until burgers are brown up the sides. Use a wide spatula and carefully flip burger to the other side and cook another 5 minutes or so, until golden brown.

BACON CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until it is cooked, but not yet crispy. It will finish cooking in the burger patties. Let it cool slightly and then chop it into small pieces.
• Add all ingredients to a large bowl and use your hands to combine the mixture until the bacon and cheese is evenly dispersed. Do not overmix, though.
• Evenly divide the ground beef into 4 equal servings and form into patties. Make the patties more thin than thick because they will shrink up some while cooking.
• I like to cover and refrigerate the patties for about 1 hour, if I have time. (This will help the burgers keep their shape on the grill.)
• While burgers are in the fridge, you can make the burger sauce: stir mayonnaise together with ketchup, pickle juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using) and salt and pepper to taste. Place in refrigerator until you're ready to use.
• Prep your burger toppings: slice tomatoes, tear lettuce, slice the onion, etc.
• To grill, place each burger onto preheated grill or grill pan. Cook 3 minutes on one side and then flip and cook for another 3 minutes or until burgers register 160 degrees F. If adding cheese slices, do this after the burger has been flipped to the second side and after about 2 minutes. Top each patty with a slice, cover and cook 1 minute.
• Serve as desired, on toasted buns with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and burger sauce or other condiments. Enjoy!

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon bits in a small bowl.
• Season your ground beef the way you like (I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder) and mix well.
• Shape the beef into patties. I made 8 patties which will make 4 HUGE burgers. If you want to make more burgers that are smaller, make more patties.
• Take one patty and put a spoonful of the cheese filling into the middle. Take another patty and put it on top of the filling, sealing the patties together.
• Preheat your grill on medium high. Grill burgers for 5-10 minutes on each side or until the meat is done to your liking.

STUFFED BACON-CHEDDAR BBQ BURGER

Steps:

• Combine ground round, ground chuck, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, combine the coarsely shredded sharp cheddar and cooked bacon pieces.
• Let bacon and cheese mixture sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to get soft.
• Then, shape mixture into balls (for however many burgers you would like to make). Form 2 patties of meat and place one cheese/bacon ball in between them.
• Pinch the sides together to seal in cheese ball. Gently press formed patty, to spread out cheese ball. Continue until all patties are formed.
• Cook burgers on grill over medium flame for about 7 minutes on each side.
• While burgers are grilling, slice sweet Vidalia onions and sauté them in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter. Once onions become translucent (about 4 minutes), add some sweet barbecue sauce.
• Flip burgers, and baste the cooked side of the patties with the same sweet barbecue sauce used in the onions.
• After about 7 minutes longer, the burger should be done (these are big thick burgers and may take longer to grill to your liking).
• Baste again with sweet barbecue sauce before removing from grill.
• Butter hamburger buns and place on top rack of grill for several minutes, until toasted.
• To build burger, take toasted bun, add patty, and top with smothered barbecue onions. You can add tomato or lettuce, if you'd like, but the flavors are great without them.

KETO CHEDDAR BACON RANCH STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• To make the stuffed burger patties: Cook up the bacon ends and pieces in a large skillet over medium heat to desired crispness. Place bacon on a paper towel when done cooking to drain excess grease. Let bacon cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• While bacon is cooking, start preparing the filling. In a medium bowl, add in shredded cheddar cheese, ranch packet, and 1/4 cup ranch dressing. Add in the bacon once it has cooled. Stir well to combine.
• Turn barbeque on high to preheat it for grilling the stuffed burgers.
• Form the ground beef into six patties about 1/2 inch thick. In the three "base" patties, press the middle down to 1/4 inch thick to form a "bowl". This is for the cheddar bacon ranch filling.
• Add a 1/4 cup of the cheddar bacon ranch filling to the "bowl" of each base patty. You will have leftover filling. You can use it for more stuffed burgers, as a topping for these burgers, or save for another use.
• Place the top patties over the base patties with the filling. Pinch around the edges of the top and bottom patties to seal in the filling.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the stuffed burgers.
• To grill the stuffed burgers: When the barbeque is ready, place burgers on the grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side for medium. Shorten or lengthen the cooking time depending on your desired level of doneness.
• When burgers are almost finished cooking, top with the sliced sharp cheddar cheese. You can also add your keto hamburger buns to the grill to toast them at this time. Continue cooking burgers until the cheese has melted, approximately 2-3 more minutes. Transfer burgers to a clean surface when finished grilling.
• To assemble the burgers, use your favorite condiments. We recommend using Ranch dressing on both sides of the bun and then adding mustard, sugar-free ketchup, red onion slices, and a tomato slice to the bottom bun. Place the stuffed burger on top of the tomato and then add the top bun.
• Enjoy!
