Bacon Feta Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Want to make your husband/boyfriend/brother/father/etc. smile like this:

Then make him a Stuffed Burger:

(they taste better than they look)

I like to use the Kinnicnick brand of hamburger buns. Unfortunatly I was out, but they are good wrapped in lettuce. The mushrooms add really good flavor.

Bacon Feta Cheese Stuffed Burgers

1 lb ground beef

3 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/3 cup bacon bits

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. garlic powder

1/4 t. pepper

1 lb sliced fresh mushrooms

1 T. olive oil

1 T. water

1 T. Dijon mustard

4 buns

Mayo

Lettuce

Tomato

Shape beef into eight thin patties. {This is the key- nice and thin, otherwise the burgers are too meaty, and we'll have none of that...it's the cheese you want more of!)

Combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, and bacon bits; spoon onto the center of four patties. Top with remaining patties and press edges firmly to seal. Combine salt, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle over patties.

Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil for 5-7 mins on each side or until meat thermometer reads 160 and juices run clear.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in oil until tender, Stir in water and mustard.

Serve burgers on buns with mayo, lettuce, tomato and mushrooms.
