The perfect summer burger for the grill.
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • ⅓ cup sliced mushrooms (canned, or fresh sauteed)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 6-8 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce leaves and tomatoes, if desired
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Shape into 6-8 patties, about ¾ inch thick. Set aside, or cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and mayonnaise; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Grill the burgers over medium-hot coals for 8-10 minutes, turning once. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, spoon about ¼ cup of the cheese mixture onto each burger. Cover and cook until cheese is slightly melty.
  4. Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato, if desired.
Notes
I generally like to use 93% lean beef for this recipe and it tastes great.
You can use canned sliced mushrooms, or if you prefer, you can saute some fresh mushrooms lightly prior to adding it to the cheese/mayo mixture.
I usually use Canola oil mayo, which has half the calories of regular mayo and tastes great.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook these on the stovetop over medium high heat for about 4 minutes on each side.
