Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ground beef | 1 pound | |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon | |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon | |
| Salt | To taste | |
| Pepper | To taste | |
| Cheddar cheese | 4 slices | Or your favorite melty cheese |
| Bacon strips | As needed | Enough to wrap all burgers (2–3 per burger) |
| Sautéed mushrooms | 1/2 cup | Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor |
| Chopped onions | 1/4 cup | Sautéed until tender |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon | Adds umami depth |
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently but thoroughly—avoid overworking the meat.
- Form the Burger Patties: Divide the beef into eight equal portions. Flatten each into a thin patty.
- Add the Stuffing: On four of the patties, place one slice of cheddar cheese, a spoonful of sautéed mushrooms, and chopped onion.
- Seal the Burgers: Top each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Wrap with Bacon: Wrap each burger completely with 2–3 strips of bacon, overlapping the ends.
- Grill: Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until bacon is crispy and burgers are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
- Rest and Serve: Let the burgers rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
