Photo #11: Story; The Creation of the Stuffed Cheddar Bacon Burger

I love food, I will eat and almost try anything. However if there is any food that I dislike it is, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and most of all turkey burgers. Besides my love for eating food, I love to cook. It has always been a passion for me and I believe that I can cook almost anything, including a burger that I like. Follow my story, to create the best burger, or at least Rachel's favorite burger.
Ingrediants:
2 pounds ground beef(lean/chuck/round)
1/2 an onion
1 cup cheddar cheese
4 slices of bacon pan fried
Burger buns

The ingrediants needed to make a stuffed cheddar bacon burger. Using two different types of meat really bring out the juices and the flavor of the burger. Lean ground beef still makes the burger seemingly healthy but the ground round makes it fuller.

For the 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded cheese works just fine. However grating your own cheese allows it to be a lot finer and fit into the burger better later on.

Nobody really enjoys chopping an onion. Thank goodness this recipe only calls for one to chop half of one because it doesn't take long before you start to cry. There are tips on how to chop onions without crying, by cutting out a certain part of the onion. Why would one do that when you can purchase handy onion goggles. Glasses lined with foam to keep out the onion fumes, they are extremely effective, fun and of course silly.

Mix the two meets, or just the one if thats all you decided to use, in a bowl. Put in some salt, pepper, and any other spices you desire. Sometimes a steak seasoning works great. Mix the combination with your hands the form into eight small round patties and set aside.

Fry the bacon in a frying pan. It has to be done this way because the bacon grease will be needed later for browning the onion. Even though the recipe only calls for four slices it is nice to make more than that just in case some pieces are overcooked or if you just want something to snack on.

After you remove the bacon from the frying pan, place the bacon in some paper towels off to the side to let some of the grease soak out. Take the half of onion chopped an place into the frying pan and cook with the bacon grease. Cook till it is brown, will only take a few minutes.

After the cheese is grated, bacon is fried and onion is cooked, combine them all into a bowl. Break the bacon into a bunch of tiny pieces so it will fit into the burger. Mix until it is well blended.

Place the mixture on top of four patties, then place the other four patties on top of the mixture so it creates sandwhiches. You will have four of them. Try to keep the bacon cheese mixture in the center of the burger.

Seal the edges of the burger sandwhiches so it creates one whole round burger. Make certain that the patties have plenty of meat in them because they will separate when you grill them. Follow these instructions and you will enjoy Rachel's favorite burger.
