I am an ambassador for Petit Jean Meats. I was provided with bacon, ham and cheese for recipe development purposes, but I was not compensated for this post. This Epic Ham and Cheese Stuffed Bacon Burger recipe first appeared on the Petit Jean Meats site.  

Do you ever watch those shows about epic restaurant burgers? I’ve been binging on Burgers, Brew and ‘Que with Michael Symon. I basically want to eat everything on that show. We don’t go out to eat much, so we have a lot of fun coming up with our own epic creations at home.  

Ground Chuck Patties stuffed with ham and cheese

How to Make Epic Ham and Cheese Stuffed Bacon Burgers:

Ham diced, Ham and Cheese in a bowl, Bacon

  1. Form ground chuck into 1/4 pound patties. Making half of the patties with an indention for the filling. 
  2. Mix diced ham and cheese together in a bowl. Spoon into patties and top each with another patty. Pinch edges to seal. Season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic. 
  3. Prepare grill to 350°. Place burgers over the fire and sear on both sides. After flipping the burgers, brush with barbecue sauce, flipping one more time. Continue to grill until internal temperature of burgers is 165°.
  4. Meanwhile, cook bacon in the oven and toast the buns. 
  5. Place burgers over toasted buns with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Tips for making stuffed burgers:

  • Use 80% lean ground beef, I prefer ground chuck. 
  • Make patties about 3 to 4 ounces.
  • Cook your filling ingredients like bacon and onions before stuffing, otherwise the filling won’t be fully  cooked.
  • Fill each burger with 2-3 tablespoons of filling. 
  • Seal patties together by pinching edges or pressing with a fork. 
  • Grill burgers over medium heat to cook evenly throughout.

  • Bacon: Crispy Petit Jean Meats Bacon is a must-have and makes both a great filling and topping!
  • Ham: Petit Jean Meats Hickory Smoked Ham adds an amazing depth of flavor to stuffed burgers.
  • Cheese: Smoked Cheddar is my go-to for stuffed burgers. Pepper-Jack or Onion and Garlic will also add lots of terrific flavor.
  • Caramelized onions, fried peppers or pickled jalapeños would also be delicious.
