Outside In Blue Cheese and Cayenne Bacon Burgers


Have y'all just ever had one of those days?? Ya know, the kind where nothing goes right and you just want to crawl in a hole and hide and come out the next day?? Yeah, today was one of those days. But you know what makes me happy? BACON!!! And burgers, and cheese.. They are just those kind of comforting decadent foods that make your soul smile! So I've been experimenting with these "Jucy Lucy" burgers, ever since I saw them on Man VS. Food, and Food Wars. Molten cheese inside of a burger.. Get out!!! Yummy!! How could you go wrong? So here's today's experiment, which was supremely delicious. Hope y'all are having a better day than me. Much love to ya!!

Outside In Blue Cheese and Cayenne Bacon Burgers:
Serves 4

2 lbs ground chuck
8 slices of bacon(cooked) 4 crumbled, and four in half(for the top)seasoned with cayenne pepper.
4oz blue cheese (crumbled)
2oz Swiss cheese (optional)
4 hamburger buns
Grill seasoning (or salt and pepper)
cayenne pepper ( optional)

Separate the beef into 8 equal sections, flatten into a thin patty about 1/4" thick. Put the 1/4 the amt of bacon, blue cheese and Swiss in the middle (in a mound). Put a second patty on top. Seal well!!! Season both sides with grill seasoning. Put on a plate and repeat with the remaining 3. Put in the refrigerator for about 10 min. Start grill, for gas heat to 400°. Put burgers over direct flame. Close lid. Cook for 8 minutes, flip and poke a hole or two with a toothpick to release steam. Continue to cook on 2nd side for 7 minutes. Remove and set on a plate. Place buns on grill briefly to get a little char, remove. Assemble your burger and add the other strip of bacon. Can add pickles, lettuce, tomato or grilled onions. Whatever floats your boat.
