Bacon Stuffed Burgers
4 slices bacon
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 can (4 oz.) mushroom pieces, drained and finely chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork (bulk)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp steak sauce
8 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Leaf lettuce, optional
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and discard all but 2 tablespoons of drippings.
Saute onions in bacon drippings until tender. Crumble bacon, add with mushrooms to skillet, and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine beef and pork, cheese, pepper, garlic powder, and steak sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 16 patties.
Divide bacon-mushroom mixture and place over eight of the patties; place remaining patties on top and press edges to seal.
Grill over medium coals until well done (pork sausage in burgers requires thorough cooking).
Serve on buns, with lettuce, if desired.
