Here’s your step-by-step guide to creating these stuffed wonders, along with tips to ensure they come out perfectly juicy and stuffed with flavor.

Pro Tips for Perfect Stuffed Burgers:

1. Don’t Overwork the Meat: Handle the ground beef gently to keep the patties tender and juicy.
2. Secure the Edges: Pinch the edges of the patties well to seal in the cheesy bacon filling, preventing leaks during cooking.
3. Pre-cook the Bacon: Ensure your bacon is cooked and crumbled before adding it to the stuffing to guarantee a crispy texture and fully cooked outcome.
4. Medium-High Heat: Grill the burgers on medium-high heat to achieve a seared exterior while keeping the inside moist and cooked to perfection.
5. Last-Minute Glaze: Brush the patties with BBQ sauce just before they finish cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
