NFT: Beer Can Bacon Burgers

a three-quarter pound burger and cook as is so I can keep the inside a lot moister than what this turns out to be.

however instead of ground beef i used ground sausage. filled the center with american cheese, salsa, and mozzarella. Wasn't too bad. I will try to play around with it some more.

a plain ole bacon cheeseburger. I don't care for sandwiches of any kind that are that thick.

now the BBQ pit boys like to smack around a manly size of beef sticking in their faces -- but I don't think that's the only way to play this game --

I see these as mini meat loafs - stuffed with goodies in the center - and believe there are many ways to go with it -- you don't have to put a whole one in your mouth -- you can serve these on a platter and let people take a half and dig in and you can fill them with your own favorite stuffings

Bacon, beef and cheese -- that's a worthy base to start this stuff with - and this has a new look to it

How can you eat what this guy made without it falling apart into an absolute mess?

Just a pile of slop on your plate with a soggy bun all mashed into it...yum.

that should only be consumed on its own.
And never, never, never combined with hamburger - or anything else.

This shit looks atrocious and just don't think "roast beef" is a good stuffing for a burger

So you have never enjoyed a good BLT or Turkey Club?

Or a Cobb salad or mac 'n cheese or a stuffed date or wrapped scallops or hundreds of other dishes that have bacon

As far as beer can burgers? I've got nothing against any food, but it seems like a lot of trouble. I'd rather just throw a ribeye on the grill.

Bill in UT, how you been?

Doing good, Drew. Retired about 10 months, moved to AZ, and help start a culinary club in my community. You must be heading into busy season now.

Hell, I always thought a BLT is "bacon alone"!

my choice would have been...
sauteed onions
bacon INSIDE that was already cooked to reduce the fat.
jalapeno slices
diced tomato

no roast beef and no chili

But I think you need to keep it simple. I like gorganzola but that's about it.

was the extremely unhealthy stuffed butter burger a friend of mine did at a tailgate a few years ago. He took herbed garlic parsley butter and put pats of it in the center of a burger, which he then topped with bacon and bleu cheese. Should probably have had a cardiologist clear me before eating it, but damnit that thing was great.
