"This recipe was adapted from the TV show Food 911 with Tyler Florence. It looked so good I had to try it myself!! Loved the results - I would think you could add any kind of cheese you want but the bacon and pepper jack combination is delicious!"

I'm not a huge hamburger person, but these were excellent!! I didn't have pepperjack cheese, so I just used cheddar. I fried them in the same pan that I cooked my bacon in, which made them extra good. I would reccomend grilling them to avoid extra calories though.

This is one of those recipes I would give more stars if I could. These are the best hamburgers we have ever made. We had a little cheese/bacon left over, so we put a little on top of each burger, just before removing them from the grill. Delicious!!!

We loved these burgers!! So good!! However, I had trouble finding shredded pepper jack cheese so I had to shred my own from a block. Other than that they were really easy to make and well worth all the fat and calories!! Love ya Jami!! Katie
