All of the men in my family are huge burger fans. They could probably eat a hamburger with every meal. Naturally I don’t say no to cooking hamburgers because they offer to grill them for me. Hey, if someone else wants to do the cooking one evening, I am all over it. When I learned about The Good Cook stuffed burger challenge, I decided to try my hand to see what I could come up with. I prepared a list, went to the local store since I didn’t want to get ready and drive 30 minutes into town, and discovered they didn’t have several of the ingredients I needed. My son and I discussed this in the store and came up with another burger on the fly. I couldn’t believe how well it turned out and it only has six ingredients. I don’t eat a ton of burgers, but this one was so good and filling too.
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) bleu cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) french fried onions, crumbled
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) bar-b-que sauce (use a tangy variety)
- 2 Tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 pounds ground hamburger meat
- (optional, but adds a lot of flavor: 6 slices crumbled, cooked bacon)
- Mix the cheese, onions, bar-b-que, worcestershire sauce and bacon together in a large bowl. Using the Burger stuffer, make and stuff the patties. Cook patties on the grill until done to the degree you like. This made 8 burgers, which serves 8 people with small appetites or 4 people with hearty appetites.
We had never made stuffed burgers before so I was glad we received a Burger Stuffer that made the process much easier. All we had to do was place the hamburger meat on the bottom, add the filling, cover with more meat and press. Voila! Perfectly filled burgers that came out uniform and thick. My son tried his hand at stuffing the burgers and thought his burgers came out “looking good.” One thing I noticed about stuffed burgers is that they have a tendency to come apart when cooking. Although we cooked ours on the grill, we placed the burgers in a cast iron grill before setting them on the grill. We did have a couple of burgers that fell completely apart and the cast iron grill kept them from falling down the grill vents. I think it also helped them cook evenly since they were very thick. It did take a couple of minutes longer using the grilling pan, but it was worth the wait.
I love playing with ingredients and this looks amazingly good.

YUMMY.. what an awesome Burger Idea… I love when you share your recipes, they always turn out amazing and my family loves it. The griddle looks amazing, something my husband would love to have, too
Your burger looks delicious. We all love burgers here so I try to get creative when we grill them too! I might have to try out your idea next!
*faint* I loooooove going to my parents’ house because they have a grill. And THIS is totally a reason to grill! I have got to convince them to let me borrow it.
Btw, your tomatoes are PERFECT.
This looks great. I can’t wait to try it.
OMGosh this looks amazing! I could REALLY go for one of these burgers right now! Thanks for sharing the recipe – I am SO going to make this soon.
Love burgers and these look really good. A little different from the norm but that’s a good thing.
I do love a stuffed burger and this one looks so great. I would be interested in getting that Stuffed Burger Press. Would make things a lot easier.
I have been wanting a grilling pan like that for a long time! These burgers sound really great – love the ingredients
Awwww man I think I just salivated all over my keyboard. That looks so yummy. I need to give this a try, like now. I am addicted to burgers like big time. Maybe with some sweet potato fries. Yum! I just made myself super hungry off i go to eat something less stellar to cure the hunger pangs. lol.
These look so good. I love all of the fresh ingredients and how easy they are to make. My boys love hamburgers.
We had a conversation about adding blue cheese to our burgers this weekend. I think I will just do your recipe now. Yum!
Your burger looks awesome!! What a great pairing!
Why aren’t we neighbors? This looks fantastic and I’ve got to tell you that you are a great food photographer. I can’t wait to try this. I’ve got most of the ingredients so think this would be fun for the holiday.
You did a great job with presentation, and I’m not sure why, but the post reminds me of summer. I like summer. 🙂
Hmm, Í’m not a big fan of bleu cheese actually. Other than that, this seems tasty.
Looks delicious! We just grilled some amazing burgers a week ago, so I can’t wait to do it again. I didn’t think to add different things to change up the flavor. I love the french fried onions, that sounds really good.
Oh yummy! This is perfect for Labor Day weekend.
I also don’t eat a lot of hamburgers but I would eat this one. I like hamburgers that have different layers of flavor and that are just plain. I know my husband would probably eat a couple of these if I made them.
That looks really good. I know all my guys would eat that for sure!
That looks pretty yummy!
Now that my son is 3 years old and decided that he loves hamburgers, I need to invest in a good pan. I think that it will go to good use for many years!
I was just telling my husband that I wanted a nice grill pan! 🙂
Mmmm, I love hand-made burgers! I’ve never thought to put cheese inside the burger before, so will try that next time it’s burger night. Thank you
Oh yummy I can’t really eat beef so a bacon burger sounds just up my street! x
Hmmm a bacon burger? This looks amazing, and delicious. I will have to make this for labor day I am sure my guests will love it.
Aint nothing wrong with stuffing a burger with goodies.
Now that is a burger. I’m not a fan of bleu cheese, but everything else sounds good.
Looks so yummy!
Bacon in the Burger!! I never thought of that but it sounds amazing. I am going to put some in the next time we have burgers and not tell my Hubs… just see if he notices.
I’ve never done a stuffed burger before, but it sounds absolutely amazing! I Would have a blast stuffing that burger with all of my husbands favorites! Yum!
These look good. I need to get a good quality pan like this for burgers, especially since we’ll be cooking indoors more once the weather cools off.
That looks really good.We grill every weekend so I will be trying this!I like Good Cook products also 🙂
We have a labor day bbq coming up. This is going to be on our menu. This looks super delicious and you can’t have a bbq without burgers.
Wow! What a fantastic idea for a burger! This is actually the perfect weekend for us to try to make these! Thanks for this creative recipe!
Looks yummy! I’ll have to book mark and try this recipe, love stuffed burgers! And the Good Cook Burger Stuffer does make it so easy to do.
That looks like a great tasting burger. I need to get a pan like that.
