2/3 pound burgers stuffed with bacon and cheese, topped with more bacon and cheese.

Ready in: 40 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 4 pounds hamburger, 85-percent lean recommended
• 1 pound pepper bacon
• 12 slices pepper Jack cheese
• 6 hamburger buns
• 6 teaspoons butter, or as needed
• Garlic salt

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 25 mins

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

2. Cook bacon in skillet, and set aside.

3. Make beef into 12 patties, approximately 1/3 pound each. Place 1 slice cheese and 1 strip bacon on 6 of the patties; break the cheese slices and bacon apart when arranging, to leave at least 1/2 margin all around.

4. Place remaining patties over topped patties; press and roll seams to seal edges all the way around. Press completed burgers to somewhat flat-make a quarter-sized dent on the top to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

5. Grill over medium-high heat until juices are no longer red, about 10 minutes; top each with remaining cheese & bacon until cheese begins to melt.

6. Butter inner sides of buns and sprinkle with garlic salt; place on grill until just toasted.

7. Put all together and enjoy!
