Ingredients




2 pounds lean chuck- best quality
5 strips of bacon
1/4 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
beef seasoning (like Montreal spice)

Preparation

1 BACON CHEDDAR BURGERS 2 To each pound of meat, add 4-5 strips of bacon and grind it all together. 3 Place into a bowl and sprinkle in shredded cheddar cheese to taste;  I prefer about ¼ pound of cheese cause I like things cheesy (have you been reading my jokes?) 4 Form into four ¼ pound patties and grill. 5 MUSHROOM SWISS BURGERS 6 Season one pound of lean beef with your favorite beef seasoning (I like Montreal hamburger spice). 7 Add ½ cup of dried or fresh mushrooms (fresh are better) like portabellas or cremini. 8 Grind up together. 9 Place into a bowl and sprinkle in ¼ cup shredded Swiss cheese. 10 Form into four ¼ pound patties and grill.
