Paul Bunyan Burgers

This is a great recipe and the topping is soooo good!

Paul Bunyan Burgers

6 bacon strips, diced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 T. worchestershire sauce
½ tsp. seasoned salt
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp. prepared horseradish
1 pound ground beef
Hamburger buns

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp, remove to paper towels to drain. In the drippings, sauté mushrooms and onion until tender. Transfer to a large bowl, add bacon.

In another bowl, combine the egg, worchestershire sauce, seasoned salt, salt, pepper and horseradish; sprinkle beef over the mixture and mix well. Shape into 4-6 patties, depending on how big you want your burger. Grill, top with American cheese, and add bacon mixture on top of that. ( I left the bacon strips whole and added the sliced onions to that. I didn’t have mushrooms, and they were still fantastic!)

Alternate method:

Form into 6 patties. Divide bacon mixture and put on top of three patties. Top with a slice of American cheese, folding in corners. Top with another burger and seal edges very well. This is what makes the Paul Bunyan burger, but I thought they would be too big so I improvised a little..
