A delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a cheesy surprise inside and crispy bacon bits.
Cook the bacon in a skillet or oven until crispy but not overly brittle. Let it cool.
Cooking bacon in the oven on a rack ensures even crispness and less grease.
Chop the cooled bacon into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and uniform pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, and bacon bits. Mix thoroughly.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty.
Using a hamburger press can help achieve uniform patties.
Place a piece of cheese on one patty and cover with another patty. Seal the edges well.
Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking during cooking.
Cook the patties in a skillet or grill until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Cook over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings and sides.
Pair with fresh lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of your favorite sauce for a complete burger experience.
