Ingredients
5bacon strips
4ozcream cheese,at room temperature
¼cupgreen onion,thinly sliced
1cupsharp cheddar cheese,shredded
1lbground beef
salt,to taste
pepper,to taste
4cheddar cheese slices
4hamburger buns,toasted
Preparation
In a pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon, and cook until crispy. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.
In a bowl, add the bacon, cream cheese, green onions, and shredded cheddar. Mix well.
Divide the ground beef into four even portions and shape into balls. Form a well into the center of each, large enough for the cheese mixture.
Place a quarter of the cheese mixture into the center of each ball, and enclose inside the ground beef. Gently press each ball into a patty shape, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side.
Flip the burgers, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add a slice of cheese to each burger and cook for about 2 minutes until the burger is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Remove the burgers from the pan, and place on top a toasted burger bun.
Top with condiments of choice, serve, and enjoy!
