Gourmet Bacon, Onion, and Mushroom Burgers Recipe

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat turning occasionally until evenly browned about 10 minutes. Drain bacon strips on paper towels reserving 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet. Chop bacon into large chunks.

Saute onion and mushrooms over medium-high heat in the same skillet until golden brown about 8 minutes. Add wine and reduce heat to medium stirring frequently until wine reduces by half about 5 minutes. Remove onion mixture from heat.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place hamburger buns on grill until lightly toasted 2 to 3 minutes.

Shape ground beef into 8 patties. Sprinkle salt garlic powder and ground black pepper over patties.

Cook patties on the preheated grill until browned on one side about 6 minutes. Flip patties top each with one slice of cheese and continue grilling until no longer pink in the center about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Transfer burgers to toasted buns. Place some of the onion mixture on top using a slotted spoon. Add chunks of bacon.
