Inside out Bacon Cheeseburgers
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- 14 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 piece bocconcini
- salt and pepper
- Cook the bacon as your normally would until slightly crisp but not crumbling (when doing large quantities, I cook it in the oven on a cake rack atop a baking sheet).
- Set to cool.
- Once cooled, cut of the bacon into bacon bit sized pieces.
- Combine all ingredients but the bocconcini.
- Mix well with your hands so everything so everything is well combined.
- Divide mixture into 4 even balls.
- Slice your bocconcini into 4 pieces.
- Take one meat ball and divide into 2 then flatten.
- Put a slice of bocconcini on one of the patties and then put the other patty on top.
- Work the meat so that cheese is completely cover by the meat.
- Shape into a patty.
- (I use one of those hamburger presses simply because the patties look better and it's that step your neighbour wouldn't do).
- Cook as you normally would.
