Mushroom, Onion and Bacon Packed Burgers

What You Need:
4 slices bacon
1 onion, chopped
1 (6 oz) can mushrooms, drained and chopped fine
1 lb. lean ground round
1 lb. pork sausage
1/4 c Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp low sodium steak sauce (your favorite)

How to Make It:
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

Drain the bacon well on a piece of paper towel.

Place the onion in the bacon drippings.

Cook the onion 5 minutes or until tender.

When the onion is tender crumble the bacon into the skillet.

Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 1 minute.

Remove from heat, do not drain and set aside to cool.

Place the ground chuck and sausage into a large mixing bowl.

Mix the two together with your hands.

Sprinkle in the cheese, pepper and garlic powder.

Pour in the steak sauce and mix well with your hands.

When all the ingredients are mixed well make 16 not too thick patties.

Place the bacon mixture over the top of 1/2 of the patties.

Be careful to not get to close to the edge of the patties.

Place the other 8 patties on top of each one of the covered patties.

Press the patties together and be sure to seal all the way around.

Heat the grill to medium temperature and allow to heat up.

Grill the burgers until well done.

These burgers are a great addition to any picnic. They only contain 3 g carbohydrates each.
