• Place remaining 6 patties on top of cheese/bacon topped patties and press edges to seal.
• Grill or broil for 3-4 minutes per side until done. We like ours well done.
• The last 2 minutes of cooking top patties with remaining bacon and cheese.
• Serve on buns.

SMOKED CHEDDAR BACON STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Cook bacon and crumble, set aside in a small bowl. Shred the cheese and set aside in a small bowl.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, worcheshire, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and onion. Mix well to combine and form into 12 thin patties (about ¼" thick) I find it is easiest to use your hands for this part but if you have a burger press even better!
• Preheat smoker to 200 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Arrange 6 patties on a cutting board. Press lightly to form a slight indent in the centre. Fill each centre with about 2 tbsp of crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Then, top each with remaining patties. Pinch the edges to seal.
• Place patties directly onto the grill grate and close the lid. Smoke for 2.5 hours until internal temperature hits 165 degrees F.
• Place burger buns onto grill grates for 10 minutes towards the end of cooking time.
• Arrange burger patties and top with desired toppings.

• Press edges firmly to seal.
• Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
• Serve on hamburger bun (optional toasted) with the lettuce and tomato.

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.

CHEDDAR BACON WRAPPED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Crumble in the ground beef, and mix together by hand. Form into 6 patties, and wrap two slices of bacon around each one in both directions. Secure bacon with toothpicks.
• Place patties on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Remove toothpicks before serving on hamburger buns.

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.
