Blue & Gouda Bacon Stuffed Burgers

Blue & Gouda Bacon Stuffed Burgers

Review: 8/10 - My wife enjoyed these more than I did and gave them a 10/10 - I wasn't as impressed. I expected the flavoring from the stuffing to be more prevalent. The cheese melted completely and the burgers were very tender. I loaded mine with toppings - lettuce, tomato, onion, hot pepper relish, mayo, ketchup and mustard, while my wife simply put ketchup and mustard on hers - which could be why she noticed the flavor more and enjoyed more so. I will cook these again, using the same BGE settings, but will try different stuffings with more flavor (like mushroom & swiss or prosciutto & habanero cheese)

BGE Settings:
1. Hickory & Oak Lump Wood Charcoal
2. (1) Jack Daniels Whiskey Oak Barrel Block (from Bass Pro Shop)
3. 400 degrees at direct heat

Ingredients:

1.  Meat
     a. 1 lb Ground Beef

     d. Salt & Pepper

Recipe:
1. Prepare ground beef by mixing with small amounts of Worcestershire, A1, BBQ, Salt & Pepper
2. Use burger press to shape burgers (keep them thin as two patties will create one burger)

3. Layer stuffing on one patty

 

4. Cover with another patty and press to close edges and create one burger
5. Sprinkle Webber Blazin Burger Seasoning on burgers

6. Refrigerate until ready - let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling)
7. Stabilize BGE at 400 degrees
8. Cook for 5 minutes then flip and cook for 5 more minutes or until one temp less than desired temp (I prefer mine at medium-well, so I take them off when medium)

9. Remove from BGE and cover with foil for 10 minutes - this will finish cooking burgers to desired temp.

10. Toast buns for 2 minutes on BGE

11. Enjoy with a cold beer!
