Bacon Burgers..

Oh. My. Word.

When I make burgers, I usually stuff them with stuff. Sometimes Mozzarella and tomato sauce, sometimes spinach and feta, sometimes red peppers and spinach and feta. (Yeah, I like spinach and feta.)

But bacon? As in, adding raw chopped bacon to the meat mixture? WHYYYY have I never done this before?!? As the bacon pieces cook, all their yummy bacon juices drip through the meat, making the burgers super most and incredibly flavorful. 

If you have done this, WHY didn't you tell me?!? And if you haven't done this before, you simply must! This is a total game changer. 

You can really just add chopped raw bacon to whatever burger recipe you usually use and it should work great. If you don't have a usual burger recipe, but this is what I did. It's very basic, (dude, I was tired. Cut me some slack!) but super yummy. In fact, my hubster told me tonight (as he came in for a second burger) that from now on, I'm not allowed to make burgers any other way. Bahaha

I simply threw into a bowl:

1 lb ground chuck

3 slices of bacon (raw) chopped

1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried parsley 

1 tsp ground pepper 

Mix it all up very well. Form into patties and cook in a skillet over medium high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. (Depending on the size of your burgers and how rare or well done you like them. Cook em how you like em!)

I topped mine with a slice of cheddar cheese and a Tbsp of pico de gallo.

YUM!

That's it, tho! Super simple, right? Give it a try and let me know what you think!
