Juicy grilled stuffed burgers with melted cheese and crispy bacon inside the patty, perfect for quick and flavorful homemade BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds (680 grams) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack, pepper jack)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon kosher salt)
  • Black pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon freshly ground)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing grill or pan
  • 6 burger buns (brioche or potato rolls recommended)
  • Toppings and condiments of choice (lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, mayo)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently without overworking.
  3. Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions (about 4 ounces or 115 grams each). Flatten each portion into a thin patty about ¼-inch thick.
  4. Place a slice of cheese and a spoonful of chopped bacon on 3 of the patties. Top each with another patty and press edges firmly to seal.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the stuffed patties for 5-6 minutes per side without pressing down. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  8. Assemble burgers by placing patties on buns and adding desired toppings and condiments. Serve immediately.
  9. Let the burgers rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling to lock in juices.

Notes

Chill patties for 15 minutes if too fragile before grilling. Seal edges tightly to prevent cheese leaks. Rest burgers 3-5 minutes after cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. Reheat leftovers gently in skillet or oven to keep cheese melty.
