Scottie O's Stuffed Burgers

Who doesn't love burgers?  We kicked it up and stuffed these burgers with bacon, cheese, and garlic for a celebration of some serious flavor!  Not to mention, we topped these suckers off with some sweet caramelized onions.  Mmmm.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground lean beef
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 4 slices of bacon
- cheese (any kind you like, we used shredded blend of smoked cheddar, gouda, provolone, & mozzarella..holler!)
- 2 yellow onions
- 1 tbsp. of dijon
- 1 tsp. of worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 of plain bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp. parsley (preferably fresh, but we used dried)
- 4 good hamburger buns (we used onion rolls)
- salt & pepper to taste




Start by cutting the bacon in half, leaving you with 8 half-sized pieces of bacon.  Cook the bacon all the way through and let cool.  Once cooled, dice bacon into your very own bacon bits (don't even think about buying the pre-made bacon bits!).

Chop the onions into strings and place in a skillet over medium heat.  The onions take about 20 minutes to caramelize, so get these puppies on early and keep turning them!



Meanwhile, put the ground beef in a big bowl and sprinkle with a couple pinches of koshor salt and pepper.  Also, add a couple splashes of worcestershire and a couple pinches of parsley.  Add dijon, breadcrumbs, then take those rings off and start kneading the meat!  Once thoroughly mixed, start making your patties.  Make the patties thicker on the outside and a little thinner on the inside to make room for the stuffing.  Form one patty, sprinkle some of the minced garlic, bacon bits, and shredded cheese.


Form another patty and place on top. Push down on the edges to ensure the filling will not spill out when cooking.  Repeat until you have 4 healthy looking patties.  Cook the patties on a cast iron grill pan until done to your preference.  Place on a delicious onion bun, and top with the caramelized onions.
