Bacon Stuffed Burgers

Yield: 8 servings
4 slices bacon
1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 can mushroom pieces, drained and finely chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon steak sauce
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Sauté onion in
drippings until tender. Crumble bacon: add with mushrooms to skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine beef, pork, cheese, pepper, garlic powder and steak sauce in a large bowl. Shape
into 16 patties. Divide bacon mixture and place over eight of the patties. Place remaining patties on top
and press edges tightly to seal. Grill over medium coals until well−done (pork sausage in burgers
requires thorough cooking).
Serve on buns, with lettuce if desired.
