👩🍳 Instructions:
Prep the Filling:
Sauté the chopped mushrooms and onions in a skillet over medium heat until soft and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
Form the Patties:
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
Flatten each into a patty. Add a spoonful of the mushroom-onion mixture and a generous pinch of shredded cheese to the center of two of them.
Top with the remaining patties and seal the edges well to lock in the filling.
Wrap in Bacon:
Carefully wrap 2–3 bacon strips around each stuffed burger, covering the sides and top. Tuck the ends underneath or secure with toothpicks.
Cook the Burgers:
You can grill them over medium heat for about 6–7 minutes per side or bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping once. Finish with a quick broil to crisp up the bacon if needed.
Serve Hot:
Let them rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of salad, cauliflower mash, or wrapped in lettuce if you're skipping the bun.
📝 Tips & Variations:
Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a kick.
Add chopped jalapeños to the filling for heat.
These freeze well—prep a batch and save some for later.
🥓 Final Thought:
