AMATEUR KITCHEN

Serves: 4
Prep:10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
2 lb ground chuck
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
¼ lb bacon, chopped
2 shallots, thinly sliced
8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
Olive oil
4 Kaiser buns, split and toasted

Directions:
Preheat the grill to high.

In a large bowl add in the ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; combine all ingredients together, making sure not to work the meat too much. Divide meat into 8 equal sections and create 4-inch patties.

In a medium pan over medium high heat add in the bacon and cook until rendered. Take bacon out the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Add the shallots directly into the pan and cook until translucent and fragrant.

Equally divide the bacon, shallots and cheese evenly between 4 patties. Add a patty over top the bacon, onion and cheese mixture and gently seal the edges; repeat for the other 3 patties. Lightly oil the outside of the patties and place on the grill. Cook on one side for 4 minutes over direct heat, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Transfer the patties to an indirect heat and allow for them to cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and reaches desired doneness.

Remove from the grill, toast the buns and serve with desired condiments. Enjoy!
