Stuffed Burgers

Stuffed Burgers are rich, juicy, and packed with bold, savory flavor in every bite. Seasoned ground sirloin surrounds a creamy, cheesy center filled with sautéed mushrooms and a touch of sweet jalapeño for a subtle kick. As they cook, the inside turns warm and melty, creating a delicious contrast with the perfectly seared exterior. Finished with crispy bacon and caramelized onions, these burgers are hearty, satisfying, and made for summer cookouts.

Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
2 lbs ground sirloin
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mushrooms, chopped and sautéed
4 Tbs sweet jalapeños, chopped
8 slices bacon, cooked and halved
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
hamburger buns, lettuce, tomato slices, mustard and mayonnaise (for serving)
Directions
  1. Divide the ground sirloin into 8 equal portions (about 4 ounces each), and shape into balls. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flatten each ball into a thin patty.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and jalapeños until well-combined. Divide the filling into 4 equal portions. Place one portion of filling onto the center of 4 patties. Gently press them flat, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Avoid overfilling.
  3. Top each with a remaining patty. Press the edges together firmly to fully seal, ensuring that no filling is exposed. Transfer the stuffed patties to the freezer for 30 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape while cooking.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp if not already prepared. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve a small amount of bacon grease in the skillet. Add the sliced onions. Cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes (stirring occasionally) until soft and caramelized.
  5. Preheat a grill to high heat. Grill the burgers for 7 to 8 minutes per side (flipping carefully) until the internal temperature reaches 160° F.
  6. Top each burger with bacon and caramelized onions. Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato slices and desired condiments.
