BACON-STUFFED BURGERS
Steps:
- Combine the cheese and bacon in a bowl.
- Put the ground chuck in another bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper; mix with a rubber spatula. Flatten a quarter of the meat mixture in the palm of your hand. Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture to make a little nugget; place in the center of the patty. Bring up the sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is completely covered; flatten slightly to shape. Repeat with the remaining meat and filling. Set the patties side-by-side on a platter and refrigerate while preparing the grill.
- Place a large grill pan covering two burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor barbecue until very hot. Brush the grates with oil. Grill the burgers for 8 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Rub the grill grates with more oil. Grill the buns cut-side down for 1 minute to toast.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite condiments and garnishes.
BACON, ONION AND CHEESE STUFFED BURGER
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium.
- In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix. Warm a skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep heat on skillet and fry a pinch of the beef in the bacon fat to test seasoning. Adjust seasoning, if needed, then form 8 even thin patties, about 1/2-inch thick and set aside. Saute onions in bacon fat in skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Place onions and bacon in a bowl with cheese. Form a spoonful of bacon-cheese mixture into a ball, then place in the center of 4 patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges. Grill burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness is reached, approximately 4 minutes each side for medium. Serve in buns with garnishes. Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.

Tips:
- To ensure the burgers remain juicy and flavorful, use high-quality ground beef with a fat content of at least 80%.
- To create a smoky flavor, cook the bacon until it's crispy and use a flavored salt blend to enhance the taste.
- For a spicy kick, choose a pepper jack cheese with a medium or hot heat level. Shred the cheese finely to ensure it melts evenly throughout the burger.
- Be careful not to overmix the ground beef, as this can result in tough burgers. Mix the beef gently until just combined.
- To prevent the burgers from falling apart during grilling, form them into tight patties and make a small indentation in the center of each patty. This will help the burgers cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw in the center.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup.
