Bacon Quarter Pounders, Mamma's Way

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I was craving burgers one night and I added a little of this and some of that and I came up with this very moist burger. If you make this, please make sure the onion is frozen. The frozen onion and not handling the meat so much is what makes this very moist and juicy. My son came up with the name. I’m just guessing on cooking time. Posted on July 30th 2005."

YUM YUM YUM! Nothing better than a bacon cheeseburger! I always do my bacon in the oven on about 375 for 15-20 minutes. That way I can do a whole package and not have to babysit it on the stovetop. Will definately make these again!
