Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef - for healthier burgers use lean ground beef, for something a bit greasier and more traditional go with the 80/20
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp rub - I use my own you should use whatever you like
2 Tbsp hot sauce - again one of your choosing
4 slices bacon - cut into chunks and cooked until crisp
4 oz's white cheddar cheese - grated
6 Hamburger Buns

Directions

1

Add ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, rub and hot sauce to a bowl.
2

Mix all ingredients well. Try to use your finger tips and not squeeze the meat as this will overwork the meat and you will end up with dry burgers.
3

Break the mixture into 6 equal parts. This recipe is going to make six burgers total.
4

Take one of your 6 portions and break it in 1/2. Lay the first half in the bottom of a burger press and push it flat.
5

Place cheddar cheese and bacon on the burger, leaving it in the press. Leave a little space between the edge of the meat and your toppings, do not put the toppings all the way to the edge.
6

Flatten out the second half of the meat portion using your fingers. Lay over the stuffing and press along the edges to seel in the stuffing.
7

Use the hamburger press to shape the burger into a patty and place on a clean plate.
8

Finish the other 5 burgers and go prep your grill.
9

Get a nice hot grill going. Lay your burgers on the grill and let them site for 3 minutes. Give them a 1/4 turn and let sit for 1 more minute then flip. Let cook for an additional 3 minutes and pull them. The burgers should be medium, juicy and ready to eat.
