First let me start off with, Thank y’all for your grill recommendation over on my Grilled Corn with Herb Butter post! We still haven’t decided on one yet but I’m loving the suggestions!
We may just have to get one of those big grills that does both!
So, today’s blog post is going to be all about these Cheese Stuffed Bacon Burgers! Our #12blogger group had a theme of burgers this month and as soon as I heard about the theme I knew that I wanted to put Thomas’ Cheese Stuffed Bacon Burgers on here!!
I’m not sure if I remember exactly when Thomas started making Cheese Stuffed Burgers but I’m so glad he did. Not only are these stuffed with cheese, topped with cheese and covered in bacon but they’re also made with this new seasoning called Pike’s Peak Butcher’s Rub. My friend, Crystal, introduced me to this spice mixture when we were in Greensboro the other week and we’ve been loving it! I mean I loved the cheese stuffed burgers before but now with this seasoning.. oh my gosh!
It totally adds a great flavor to these burgers!
Is there really anything better than hanging out in the yard and grilling some fantastic cheeseburgers on the grill?? Ok… hanging out at the beach grilling some fantastic cheeseburgers on the grill would be even better but I’m going with what I’ve got here y’all! haha
*Sigh* the beach…I can’t wait! I’m leaving tonight, with Nikki, to head down to Wilmington/Carolina Beach. Hurry Up Friday…Hurry up and be over all ready haha.
Ps. guys, I’m looking for some neat Antique Shops in Wilmington! If y’all have any suggestions for me, please let me know!
But onto the burgers!!
For these, Thomas uses a ground beef that’s 85% lean 15% fat. We also buy the cheese in block form and cut it into cubes but you could also buy the pre-cut cubes of cheese.
You’ll need a little of this Pike’s Peak Butcher’s Rub (or your favorite steak seasoning), 6 Hamburger Buns, 6 Slices of cheese (use the good stuff y’all, it’s worth it), 12 pieces of bacon that you’ve already cooked and you can also add some mushrooms if you like them. (I LOVE THEM)
To make them, you’re going to want to combine the beef and Pike’s Peak Butcher’s Rub (or your favorite steak seasoning) in a large bowl. Mix it together really well!
You can really put any toppings you like on these. We just added bacon and mushrooms because we love how well they go with the Cheese Stuffed Burgers!
So what did you think about grilling week? I’m kinda thinking that next week might be #GrillingWeekPartTwo haha because I still have a few recipes what I want to share with you but I didn’t want to bombard you this week.

Thank you!
There’s just something about a charcoal grilled burger. This looks amazing Angie! And love Wilmington – Did you know Shari from Tickled Red is a local? Have fun xo
I did! <3 We're going to try to get together this weekend!
You can’t go wrong with a cheese stuffed burger with bacon. Ever. Have fun this weekend! I can’t wait to see what you find at the antique shops.
My family would go crazy for these! Perfect for summer barbecues!
Does that look like the perfect cheeseburger or what?!? I’ve got to check out that butcher’s rub, too.
Now you totally have me craving a grilled burger for dinner tonight! YUM!
I probably should have checked this out after eating because it’s making me hungry! Grilled burgers are the absolute best, and I can’t wait to try this recipe. The bacon, for me, has to be the best part. Bacon just makes everything taste better. I’m hoping to break out my grill for Father’s Day weekend and get some burgers (and maybe some ribs) going. This may just be the perfect burger to try out for next weekend! Thanks for sharing it, Angie.
There is no better burger than one that involves bacon, cheese and mushrooms. I hope you had fun at the beach!
Nom! Almost nothing is better than a burger pulled hot from a grill…and BACON!! Oh yeah!
You had me at cheese….and bacon and cheese again on top!! Oh my Perfect burger!!!
Umm YES PLEASE! All you had to say was bacon and I am there! Now you stuff the burger with cheese? Just YES.
You seriously can’t go wrong with a burger like this! This sounds perfect for 4th of July!
