We love all sorts of burgers, from the foie gras-stuffed variations of white tablecloth eating places to the drip-down-your-arm burgers at off-the-overwhelmed-direction dives.

This bacon and cheddar-stuffed burger is one amongst basically the most straightforward and one amongst basically the most delectable to come out of my kitchen. – lori

These comprise been a delectable mess (and I imply that within the with out a doubt seemingly diagram)! I utter a key to success is that the stuffing has a host of flavor within the bacon, however the cheese wants to be a exiguous creamy. I aged big-smoky bacon and spirited cheddar — I utter subsequent time I might well try a milder, softer cheese. Have confidence the 4 minutes per side cook time: it does not seem love sufficient, however the total heart of the burger is cheese and bacon, so medium uncommon comes powerful faster than you’d utter. – Savorykitchen —The Editors
