“i was thinking of grinding some bacon and adding it into the burgers.”
Funny coincidence, just got a “Texas Squealer” burger recipe by email from Weber that calls for freezing some bacon, mincing it, and mixing it into the burger meat along with Worchestershire, granulated onion, salt and pepper.
Not tried it yet, kind of wondered if the bacon would get thoroughly cooked. Need to keep excess fat out of my wife’s diet, so usually cook her bacon crispy. Using 10% lean ground beef might be the trick with the bacon to avoid too much fat at the end.
I buy all my meat from a local really small grocery store that lives off their old fashioned meat counter. They grind all their own hamburger from quality meat. They sell bacon burger patties and I buy them. Best hamburgers ever.
