Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 35 mins


• place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. cool and crumble into a bowl. stir in the gouda cheese, parsley, and dijon mustard. set filling aside.
• place the ground beef into a mixing bowl with the bread crumbs, egg, chopped garlic, and garlic powder. season to taste with salt and black pepper. mix until evenly blended, and form into 4 very thin patties.
• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• divide the filling in half and spread each half a patty. top filling with remaining patties to make 2 stuffed burgers. press and seal edges tightly together to keep the filling enclosed.
• cook stuffed burgers on the preheated grill until the patties are cooked to your desired degree of doneness and the cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes per side for well done. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees f (70 degrees c). serve on toasted hamburger buns.
