Amazing Grilled Bacon Stuffed Cheeseburgers

These mouthwatering Grilled Bacon Stuffed Cheeseburgers are a summertime favorite every summer! While homemade burgers are simple but it’s a great way to have fun cooking as a family! With the right tools, creating your burger patties becomes a breeze, and trust me bacon takes it up a notch.
I’m a total burger fanatic, and it’s one indulgence that’s always worth the Weight Watchers points. (Now, thankfully, using lean ground beef lowers the points) Eating out can get expensive, so when I had the chance to review a burger press, I couldn’t resist! We decided to put it to the test by making Bacon Stuffed Cheeseburgers—because the bacon is always the star of the show!
Bacon Stuff Burgers Ingredients:
- Ground Beef Use high-fat or higher-fat ground beef for these burgers; low-fat ground beef will cook fast but also not be as juicy.
- Burger Seasoning– Any burger seasoning will work; I love Whiskey Burger.
- Bacon– Thick-cut bacon works excellent on these burgers, adding to their juices and flavor.
- Sliced Cheese
- Hamburger Buns

How To Grill Stuffed Burgers
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with your seasonings. (I prefer whiskey burger seasoning with some minced onions)
Turn your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Layout your slices of bacon and cook for about 10 minutes until they are the doneness you like. We prefer our bacon chewy, but I also knew they would cook some on the grill in the burger.
Use either a nonstick spray or oil to grease up your burger press to stop the ground beef from sticking to it.
Ball up a small amount of meat and smash it into the bottom of the press, once it is covered and thick enough lay in one or two half pieces of bacon.
Top with more burger mixture and smash more covered and the thickness that you are satisfied with.
Either rub your grill with oil or spray with a nonstick spray.
Fire up your grill to medium heat.
Once ready throw your burgers on the top rack of the grill.
Be sure to flip your burgers, do note you will have a flame from the high-fat grease as you flip them.
As you can tell they oozed their gooeyness and flipped in whole pieces together!!! Normally when I make my own patties we end up with grilled crumbles, not a whole patty!! Now the bacon did separate out the burger so it looks like two patties, not just one.
Then assemble your burger after it’s done cooking to the proper temperature and doneness!! And yes I got so caught up in cooking and all that fun stuff I got halfway thru my burger before I realized that I had forgotten the cheese.
What is your go-to burger?? Do you use a burger press to make your patties?

Ingredients
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 10 slices bacon
- 6 Sliced Cheese
- 6 Hamburger Buns
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet and spread out your slices of bacon.
- Bake your bacon for about ten minutes, you can do longer it will slightly cook ont
- Now to fill your burger press and make your patty it's really easy. You simply put the white lifter into the base and cover it with ground beef. Then smash it down the black handled piece (Michael called it the burger hulk since it smashed!). We laid two pieces of bacon in ours and covered it with a slice of cheese. This is where you could be creative and stick other veggies, meats, or cheese to your burger. Top your filling with more beef and smash it up again. This will create a good seal around the filing with the meat. Now throw them on the grill!!
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with your seasonings.
- Fire your grill up to a low-medium heat.
- Use a nonstick spray or oil to grease up your burger press to stop the ground beef from sticking to it.
- Cut your cooked bacon into smaller pieces to fit in your burger press
- Ball up a small amount of meat and smash it into the bottom of the press, once it is covered and thick enough lay in one or two half pieces of bacon.
- Top with more seasoned meat and finish shaping your burger.
- Cook on the grill away from direct heat.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify the burger is cooked throughly
- Remove and serve!
