How to Make Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Burgers

1. Fry 6 slices bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and crumble reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 lbs ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
3. Shape the beef mixture into 12 large, thin patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
4. Top 6 patties with 1 tablespoon crumbled bacon and 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Place the remaining 6 patties on top of the cheese/bacon-topped patties and gently press the edges to seal.
6. Grill or broil the stuffed burgers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. (We recommend well-done for food safety).
7. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top each burger with the remaining crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of extra cheddar cheese.
8. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings.
