CANADIAN TOURTIERE MAPLE CHEDDAR STUFFED PEAMEAL BACON BURGER

Servings: 4

Instructions:

1. 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.
2. Add in the ground beef, pork, egg white, bread crumbs, mustard, cinnamon, savory, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper. Combine together until just mixed through.
3. 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.
4. Grill over medium high heat on a preheated lightly greased grill for about 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Meanwhile, grill the peameal bacon for about 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
6. 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!
