Bacon and mushrooms are mixed into this burger adapted from Lobel's Prime Time Grilling by Stanley, Leon, Evan, Mark, and David Lobel. It's a nice solution to the problem of toppings sliding towards the end of your burger as you eat it. By the time you get to your last bite, the ratio of meat to topping is all off! It's all about the ratio.
6 slices bacon (about 3 ounces total)
1 pound ground beef sirloin
1 pound ground beef chuck
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped white mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1. Cook the bacon over medium heat in a skillet until cooked but not crispy. Drain on paper towels and when cool enough to handle, tear or chop into small pieces.
2. Combine the beef, bacon, onion, mushrooms, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix well. Form into 6 patties. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
3. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill: Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. Light the coals or heating elements, and let them burn or heat until hot.
4. Grill the burgers for about 5 minutes. Turn and grill for 4 to 5 minutes longer for medium-well burgers.
