Author: Steph Wagner

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 4 strips turkey bacon, finely chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated
  • toppings as desired: tomato, lettuce, pickles

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt & pepper and mix. Form into 8 evenly sized patties.
  • Saute onions and bacon. Place onions, bacon and cheese in a bowl and mix. Form a spoonful of bacon/cheese mixture and place in the center of 4 of the beef patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges by pinching the meat closed.
  • Heat grill or grill pan to medium high. Cook burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side). Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

*Serving sizes on the recipes are not necessarily "bariatric sized" portions but are "traditional" portion sizes.
**Fat in this recipe is higher than my typical recommendation. This recipe is best on a more occasional basis. If sensitive to fat, use leaner ground beef (ex: 97%) if available, stay minimal with cheese and turkey bacon.
