Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Burgers

Apparently, I am on a stuffed burger kick. I tried these little babies when we were on our little anniversary getaway during Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately, their grill was broken so I just pan fried them.  I served my husband's on onion buns and my own on a whole wheat bun.  We had some corn on the cob (boiled in a mixture of water, beer & sugar) on the side. Yummy!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1/4 finely chopped onion (optional)
• 2-3 tbp of seasoned salt
• 2 tbs beer
• 4-6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup of sharp shredded cheddar cheese

Fry bacon until it crisp.  Pat grease off with paper towels, set aside and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, mix onion, ground beef, beer and seasoned salt together.  Form into 6-10 small patties (the number of patties will depend on how large you want the burgers to be).  In half of the patties, take a spoon and make an indent.  Set aside.

Crumble cooked bacon into bits, mix with cheese.  Scoop mixure onto indented patties, adding as much filling as you can.  Top with remaining patties and press edges to seal the burger.

Refrigerate for an hour. Pan fry, grill or broil.
