The Inside Out Burger

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. 2
   Once grill is heated, make sure the grates have been scraped clean.
3. 3
   I usually use a wad of aluminum foil to wipe the heated grate surfaces.
4. 4
   Clean grates will ensure less sticking as you cook the burgers.
5. 5
   Combine ground beef, seasoning, water and hot sauce together in a medium bowl.

   What does the added water do?

   Add a pinch of shredded cheese onto the bottom half of the patty.

    Next add a pinch of crumbled bacon.
11. 11
    Form the top half of the patty (using about another 1/3 cup of meat).
12. 12
    Press the two patties together and seal around the edges to ensure the patty is completely sealed.
13. 13
    Continue this until you have made all the burgers.

    This recipe should make about 34 burgers (depending on how large you want your burger).

16. 16
    Cooks note: Shredding your cheese will ensure better melting.
