This burger is similar to the Juicy Lucy in form, but with a different filling and added bacon. Mmmm..

How to Make It
-
Filling
- Get the onions and mushrooms a frying’ in hot oil over a medium heat. Keep going until all the liquid has evaporated and they look tasty (15–20 mins.). Stir in the parsley and leave take off the heat to sit quietly on the side. Now for the Patties
- Do not over mix, but combine the meat, W/sauce, garlic and seasoning. Divide this mix into 16 x 3½“–wide patties and spoon the filling onto half of them. Make sure that you have at least ½“ of edge to work with, otherwise you won’t be able to seal them properly.
- Put the “lids” on the filled meat and pinch the edges closed. Wrap each patty in two strips of bacon (not essential said no one ever) like a little gift and tuck the ends under the parcel. To Cook
- Charcoal: Cook on a grill rack over a drip pan over med – hot coals. Cover and cook until er, cooked? Internal temp should register 160°F (25–30 min). Turn once.
- Gas: Preheat grill on high and drop the setting to med – high. Cover and grill on a rack over a drip pan, same as above.
- Top with the cheese that hopefully has not yet been snaffled by curious kitchen–loiterers. Cover and cook until cheese melts (1–2 min) Serve
- Serve on toasted buns with tomato slices and whatever other trimmings take your fancy.
