Tiger Burgers

Good LSU Football calls for good friends and  good food. I've never heard of Brontosaurus Burgers before but if I had to think of what they were they would be very meaty and large burgers.  The burgers we had on Saturday were very meaty, stuffed with cheese, onions, and bacon, and very large... but naming them after a vegetarian dinosaur didn't make much sense so I named it accordingly....TIGER BURGER! Its basically 2 burgers with toppings all in one patty, a very filling and perfect way to celebrate yet another WIN!

Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Yields: 8 Large Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs of Ground Chuck
• 3 Cloves of Garlic
• Salt and Pepper
• 2 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
• 1 TBSP Oregano
• 1 Onion (Diced)
• 1/2 lb Bacon
• 1 Cup Pepper Cheese

PREPARATION:

Heat a skillet over med-high heat and cut the bacon into bite size pieces and cook until crispy, take out and reserve on a papertowel to absorb the bacon grease. Keep 1 TSP of Bacon grease and cook the onions until transparant, take out with a slotted spoon and add to the Bacon pieces.  Add 1 cup of cheese after everything has cooled and keep to the side until ready to use.

After mixing the ground meat, eggs, garlic, worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, salt and pepper, oregano together in a large mixing bowl, start forming thin patties in equal pairs because you will be stacking one on top of the other. You chould make about 16 thin patties.

Take one pattie and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the middle. Take another pattie and put on top pinching the sides to form one larger pattie. Continut until all the patties are paired up and used.

Heat the grill and cook burgers on each side until meat is cooked throughout.

TO SERVE:

Top with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles and your favorite condiments on a large sesame seed bun. We served some homemade sweet potato and regular homefries.  MMmmm!!

SOME HELPFUL TIPS:

• Make sure to absorb as much bacon grease as you can or else it will leak out and make the burgers separate.
