Blue Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Burgers

Made these amazing burgers awhile back with a friend of mine in her kitchen. She made her pasta dish and I decided I was craving meat. Maybe a burger, perhaps? Walked around the supermarket to see what would spark my interest. It came down to bacon and blue cheese. Success! The makings of my burgers were actually only using four main ingredients: Ground Beef, Garlic Powder, Blue Cheese, and Bacon. I was afraid that Diana wouldn't try the burgers because she isn't a fan of blue cheese, but with persistence and the smell in the kitchen, she gave in. And you know what? She LOVED them. One of the best burgers she has ever tried and probably the best burgers I've ever made! She's been craving them lately and so am I. These are unbelievably amazing and you would be missing out if you don't stop and make these yourself.

Blue Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Burgers



Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef
Garlic Powder
1/2 c. Blue Cheese
4 strips of bacon

Directions
1. Get the bacon in the skillet and cook thoroughly.



2. Remove bacon from skillet when done; allow to cool. Break bacon apart into small pieces. Combine with the blue cheese; set aside.

3. Prepare the ground beef by placing in a bowl and adding as much garlic powder as you'd like. Diana and I are HUGE fans of garlic so we added a huge heaping of it. :)

4. First wash and dry your hands, then get down and dirty with your meat. Mix it together. Work it a little.

5. Divide the beef into four equal rounds. Shape the patties and make a deep hole for the blue cheese and bacon mixture. Stuff all four burgers.



6. Shape the burger to cover the hole and get it ready for the preheated grill pan.

7. Cook the burgers about 3-5 minutes per side. Test one to make sure they are cooked through and enjoy! I served my burgers with just plain avocado and tomato. Didn't need ketchup, mustard, or anything else. That simple. I love the tangy blue cheese with the bacon and the beef combined. The blue cheese replaces my need for salt. A flawless burger, for sure. You can serve these burgers with the usual, like fries. This time I served them with banana fries that I quickly pan fried. Would have liked to deep fry them but Diana was out of oil! Nevertheless a better alternative than fries. And a better alternative to burger making than the standard burger these days. Give this a try sometime. AmaZING.
