If you wanted a healthier version, I'm sure this would work with minced turkey.



1 lb hamburger mince
1/2 finely chopped onion
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
4 pieces of bacon, cooked, crumbled or snipped into small pieces
Season salt to taste (I use Mc Cormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning)
3 buns
any burger fixings you like

Mix the season salt into the hamburger meat.  Divide the hamburger into 6 equal-size balls.  Flatten each ball into a patty.  In a small bowl, mix together onion, bacon and cheese.  Put a mound of the cheese mixture (about 2 TBSP) on 3 of the patties.  Take the other patties and place one on top of each mounded patty and seal the edges.  You should have 3 burgers that look like half a baseball.   Heat a fry pan to medium heat and fry each burger, about 4-5 mins per side.  The cheese may ooze a little bit out of the side, but the burger shouldn't come apart.   Once cooked, drain on paper towel and serve atop a bun with all your favorite fixins.  Serves 3 hearty hamburgers.  Serve right away, while hot.


Taste: 5/5  Great!
Brit-rating:  GREAT-ed it. "Nice.  Very nice."
Serve to guests: Yes, and I would love to try these on a grill.
Possible variation:  If you like hot and spicy, try mixing the cheese/bacon mixture with a few diced green chliis or use Mexican cheese
