Bacon Onion Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Onion Cheese Stuffed Burgers.

1. Step 1

   To create delicious stuffed burgers, start by grabbing a large mixing bowl.

2. Step 2

   In it, combine ground beef, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

3. Step 3

   Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended.

4. Step 4

   Next, shape the mixture into 12 thin patties, each weighing about a quarter pound.

5. Step 5

   Place these patties on a cookie sheet and cover them with plastic wrap.

6. Step 6

   Pop them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; this helps them firm up and makes grilling easier.

7. Step 7

   While the patties chill, let’s prepare the bacon.

8. Step 8

   In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it’s crispy and golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the excess grease.

10. Step 10

    Now, in the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and toss in the chopped onion, cooking it in the leftover bacon drippings.

11. Step 11

    Sauté the onions until they’re soft and starting to brown, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re ready, mix the cooked bacon with the onions in a small bowl for a tasty filling.

13. Step 13

    As you prepare for grilling, preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

14. Step 14

    Take the beef patties out of the fridge and grab six of them.

15. Step 15

    On each of these patties, add about 1 and a half tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

16. Step 16

    Place the remaining patties on top and gently press the edges together to seal in all that deliciousness.

17. Step 17

    Now it’s time to grill! Cook the stuffed patties for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is no longer pink in the center.

18. Step 18

    To ensure they’re cooked perfectly, an instant-read thermometer should read at least 160°F (70°C).

19. Step 19

    Finally, serve your mouthwatering burgers on toasted hamburger buns, and don’t forget to add your favorite condiments.

20. Step 20

    Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!.
