Wonderful stuffed burger that can be easily changed to suit different tastes. My kids who normally don't have onions on their burgers REALLY enjoyed these. We served with french fries and root beer floats!

Ingredients

3 pounds ground beef
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ pound bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
6 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, barbeque sauce and garlic powder using your hands. Taking a small handful at a time (approximately 1/4 pound), shape into 12 patties. Lay patties out on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap; place patties in the refrigerator.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat down to medium and pan fry the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. Mix together onions and bacon in a small bowl.
Prepare a grill or large skillet for medium heat.
As the grill heats, pull beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 of the patties with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture each, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
Grill or pan fry the stuffed and sealed patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on hamburger buns with condiments of your choice.

Categories main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 small clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices Jarlsberg cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 brioche buns, split
Dijon mustard, sliced onion, sliced tomatoes, butter lettuce and cornichons, for serving

Steps:

Make the herb butter: Mix the butter, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log. Wrap and freeze until firm enough to slice, about 20 minutes. Slice the butter log into 8 rounds.
Make the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high. Divide the ground beef into 4 mounds, place a slice of butter on each, then gently shape the beef around the butter to enclose. Press the beef into four 4-inch-wide patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Refrigerate until ready to grill. Set aside the remaining butter for serving.
Season the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until well marked, 3 minutes. Flip and top each with a slice of cheese. Cook 3 more minutes for medium rare, covering during the last 15 seconds to melt the cheese. Grill the buns until toasted.
Spread the remaining herb butter on the bottom buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with mustard, onion, tomatoes and lettuce. Skewer cornichons on toothpicks and insert into each burger.
