Okay, I got carried away with this one! Just jump down and take a quick look at the ingredients. Does that amount of cheese for 4 burgers seem excessive? That’s because it is. That’s me, excessive and obsessive with putting just a bit too much spice, cheese, sauce, or whatever it happens to be that day.
No apologies. I like the way I am. So, what we have here is a burger that’s excessively oozing cheese. And maybe even one or two of the (too many onions) I stuck inside there popping out when you bite into it.
So, make it just the way I designed it, and you’ll be (should I use the word again?) excessively glad you did!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup onions (diced)
- 4 strips thick cut bacon (fried)
- salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
- Fry up your four strips of bacon. Break each of them up into four pieces. Dice your onions and measure out your cheese. Now mix the bacon, onions and cheese together in a bowl and set aside.
- Make 8 thin patties from the ground beef. Take 1/4 of your stuffing mixture and pile it on top of one of the thin patties. Lay another thin patty on top and close the edges completely together.
- Note: I know it will be difficult to squeeze it all in, but when you bite into this oozing mess, you’ll be glad you worked so meticulously at it!
- Put these on a medium hot grill. They won’t take long to cook since the patties themselves are pretty thin. I’d say, (depending on your grill), about 5 to 10 minutes. Take them off, salt and pepper to taste, and have fun!
- Makes 4 burgers

Sometimes, you just have to go over the top! Not an everyday cheeseburger, to be sure, but this would be a rare treat.
All that oozing cheese makes for a phenomenal burger! I approve
Not only do your burgers look amazing, but you write witty and charming posts! Thank you for sharing with me…and thank you for visiting my own blog. I look forward to sharing posts in the future!
It does look excessive – but in a very tempting way
Thanks everyone for the nice compliments.
Thanks for stopping by Monet and for the kind words about my blog.
Oh man. Looks super delish, Kurt!
Except I meant Curt. Sorry!
Excessive? Heck no, I say. That looks great to me – all that cheesy goodness. Wow. Now that is a burger I can sink my teeth into. Thanks!
There’s a steak house here in NJ that makes stuffed burgers like this. I remember as a young pup my parents took us kids as a treat and I got a cheeseburger. Was so surprised when I bit into my “they messed up and gave me a regular burger” and found it loaded with cheese.
The only thing wrong about that burger is that I don’t have one in front of me right now. Stunning.
Thanks Griffin. It’s a mess, but it is delicious!
Made these tonite and were very good!! I put some Montreal steak seasoning mix in the middle, seared them in a cast iron pan (because we don’t have a grill in an apartment) and after they were turned once and almost cooked, put a little bit of Jack Daniels steak sauce on top of each one. Husband put extra sauce on his.
Absolutely delicious!!
That’s great to hear! I used to live in an apartment for a while. You just have to make it happen however you can, right? I got me a tiny gas grill and went out in the courtyard to grill now and then.
