Serves: 6 - 8

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 16 minutes

Direct Heat: 525F - 550F

What you'll need:

2 lbs lean ground beef

1/4 cup Maple Syrup

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

6 - 8 tablespoons garlic butter

6 - 8 slices peameal back bacon

6 - 8 buns or croissants

lettuce, tomatoes, onions or other condiments of your choice

Step 1:
Place the first 6 ingredients of this gourmet hamburger recipe in a large bowl and mix well with your hands to combine.

Step 2:
Wet your hands with water and shape approximately 1/2 cup of meat mixture in your hands into a normal burger shape.

Don't overwork the meat as this toughens it and it will be anything but gourmet.

Place 1 tablespoon of this garlic butter recipe on the hamburger patty.

Take another 1/4 cup meat mixture and form a smaller patty.

Place this over the first one and the butter so the butter is now inside the hamburger.

Gently pinch the edges to secure the top to the bottom and to keep the butter inside.

If necessary gently reshape the entire hamburger into a uniform shape.

Make a slight indentation in the top of each burger in the center with your thumb - this counteracts the natural tendancy of them to puff up while cooking.
