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.
Ingredients
- 4 stripss bacon , chopped
- 1 small onion , chopped
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix , 1 ounce
- 4 hamburgers buns

Combine ground beef and onion soup mix in a large bowl; divide into 8 balls, then flatten into thin patties. Place 1/4 each bacon mixture on 4 patties; top each with 1 remaining patty. Press edges together to seal patties.
