Ingredients
2 slices bacon
3/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool and crumble into a bowl. Stir in the gouda cheese, parsley, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
Place the ground beef into a mixing bowl with the bread crumbs, egg, chopped garlic, and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Mix until evenly blended, and form into 4 very thin patties.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Cook on the preheated grill until the patties are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 3 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Divide the Gouda cheese filling between two of the patties, then place the remaining patties on top. Place the burgers onto a cooler part of the grill, and heat until the cheese melts. Serve on hamburger buns.
