Tired of fast food burgers that have little flavor?? Be weary no more, because here's a burger that's quick, simple and super tasty!! This is a half pound burger with gorgonzola and gouda cheese topped with bacon and homemade honey mustard. If you love gourmet food and hearty meals, this is definitely for YOU!!

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbs. Olive Oil
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 2 tsp. garlic salt
• 2-3 tsp. black or garlic pepper
• 1lb. hamburger meat
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbs. gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 6 thin slices of smoked gouda cheese
• 4 Tbs. brown mustard
• 4-6 Tbs. honey
• 4 slices of bacon
• 2 hamburger buns
• Spreadable butter

Directions:

Burger Patties:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add olive oil and the spices. Stir.
2. Add 1 lb. of fully thawed hamburger meat.
3. Drop in two eggs, lightly beaten.
4. Pour in the apple cider vinegar.
5. Crumble in the gorgonzola cheese. **This is in place of standard bread or cracker crumbs. It holds the patties together and adds a marvelous kick to the burger!!**
6. Stir well, making sure the spices and cheese mix through the meat.
7. This mixture would make four 1/4 lb. burgers, but these burgers are double decker with cheese in the middle. Divide the meat into fourths as usual. Form two patties and place carefully into a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat to start.
8. Allow the first two patties to cook for several minutes.
9. On each patty, put two slices of gouda. Let sit for a minute or two.
10. Form two more patties and place on on top of the other patties. The cheese should be in the middle of the patties.
11. Lower skillet heat to medium-low and place a lid on it. Flip the burgers. Cook until dark brown on the top. Some cheese might melt out the sides, but that's OK, it's still yummy!!
12. When finished, remove burgers from the pan and place the patty on the bottom of a buttered bun. Top with finely chopped gouda, bacon, and honey mustard.

**While burgers are cooking, cook four strips of bacon until they are crispy. Also, butter two hamburger buns and heat in a 375 degree oven for 5-6 minutes. Finely chop the remaining gouda cheese into crumble-like pieces.**

Homemade Honey Mustard:

1. Add olive oil to a small bowl.
2. Add in honey and mustard and stir.
3. TASTE!!
4. If needed, add more honey or mustard.
5. **For an extra burst of flavor add 1-2 Tbs. hot sauce.**

Put it all together and enjoy!! You will likely need a fork, and a napkin is a MUST!!
