CANADIAN TOURTIERE MAPLE CHEDDAR STUFFED PEAMEAL BACON BURGER
Servings: 4
Instructions:
- Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until they are very finely minced. Remove from the food processor and squeeze out any residual liquid. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add in the ground beef, pork, egg white, bread crumbs, mustard, cinnamon, savory, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper. Combine together until just mixed through.
- Portion into 8 skinny patties. Lay one patty down, sprinkle with about a tablespoon of shredded cheese and top with another skinny patty. Gently seal the edges and set aside until you’ve continued with the remaining patties.
- Grill over medium high heat on a preheated lightly greased grill for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, grill the peameal bacon for about 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Hollow out the bun insides on both sides. Line the bun bottom with the sliced apple, and a slice of peameal bacon. Smear the top side with the mustard. Top with the cooked burger and enjoy!
