This recipe for Mom's legendary stuffed hamburgers yields enormous, stick-to-your-ribs burgers with a surprise in the center—a real family favorite. I like to serve them on a bun topped with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Use extra lean or lean ground beef instead of medium because the bacon adds to the fat content of the meat.
