Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 pounds Ground Beef
- 3ish cups Pork Rinds (crushed) OR 2.5ish cups Bread Crumps
- Bull Shit Seasonings (www.SpecialShit.com)
- Dan Pastorini’s Garlic and Herb Seasonings
- Jacobsen Ghost Chili Salt
- Gumbo Daddy’s Cajun Seasonings
- 1 package Mushrooms
- 1 medium chopped Onion
- 1/4 cup minced Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4-6 Bacon Strips (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Fry bacon and break into small bacon bits (optional). Nonna likes it crispy.
3. In a frying pan, add a small amount of olive oil and over a high heat sautée onion, garlic, and mushrooms. See Note 1
4. Remove the pan from heat when mushrooms are soft and onions are translucent and let cool.
5. In a mixing bowl, put ground beef, 2 eggs and mix.
6. Add to the beef crushed pork rinds OR bread crumps (not both) and mix See Note 2
7. Roll the meat into 4 large meatballs. Then shape each ball into a bowl.
8. Add sprinkling of mushrooms, bacon (optional), and shredded cheese to the center of the bowl and close the bowl over the top. (Makes a large thick hamburger patty).
9. Either bake in the oven for 30ish minutes (or until it is done) OR place on a grill (do your best to prevent sticking). See Note 3
Note 1: Nonna sautéed the mushrooms in the bacon grease rather than olive oil. This adds flavor, but is not heart healthy. Use the bacon grease or olive oil, your call!
Note 2: Using pork rinds keeps the recipe low carb. However, breadcrumbs are perfectly good for the recipe. Again your call!
Note 3: Nonna baked her stuffed burger in the oven at 400° for 30 mins. However, you can grill them. Just make sure the ground beef is cooked to your desires!
