Burgers: Bacon and Roquefort Stuffed Burgers

Ingredients

• 
  2 pounds ground beef


• 
  1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


• 
  2 tablespoons Dijon mustard


• 
  1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


• 
  4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled


• 
  4 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled


• 
  1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves


• 
  4 hamburger buns, split and toasted


• 
  1 tomato, sliced


• 
  1 red onion, sliced


• 
  4 leaves lettuce

Directions

1. 
   
   In a large bowl, lightly mix the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper. Divide into 8 equal portions and flatten each one into 1/4 inch thick patty. In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, Roquefort cheese and thyme. Place an equal portion of the bacon mixture onto 4 of the patties. Top with the remaining 4 patties, pressing the edges together to enclose the filling.
   
   


2. 
   
   Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.
   
   


3. 
   
   Grill the patties for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Serve immediately on toasted buns, topped with tomato, onion and lettuce.
