Mom's Legendary Stuffed Hamburgers

These are enormous, stick-to-your-ribs kind of burgers with a surprise in the center. A real family favorite. I like to serve them on a bun topped with sauteed mushrooms and Swiss cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• fresh-ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Prepare a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add onions to the pan; cook and stir until bacon is browned, but not crisp and onion is soft. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season to taste with black pepper.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and onion soup mix. Divide into 8 balls and then flatten into thin patties. Place a quarter of the bacon mixture onto each of four patties. Top with the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.

Step 4

Grill the burgers for about 15 minutes, turning once, until well done. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
