Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 slices bacon
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• ¾ cup shredded Gouda cheese
• 2 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Divide the filling in half and spread each half onto a patty. Top filling with remaining patties to make 2 stuffed burgers. Press and seal edges tightly together to keep the filling enclosed.

Step 5

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.
