Instructions

Directions: Prepare medium–hot fire in charcoal grill with cover, or preheat gas grill to medium-high. In a non-stick frying pan, prepare the Onion-Mushroom topping by melting butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions, mushrooms, and crumbled bullion cube. Sauté onions and mushrooms until tender. Cover and keep warm. Beat the eggs in a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, ground beef, oatmeal, garlic, herb seasoning, soup mix, and Seasoning. Shape meat mixture into 6 1-½ inch thick burgers. Cover with wax paper and let rest for 15 minutes. Using a basting brush, generously coat heated grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill hamburgers until internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees F. When burgers are done, add a slice of cheese to each patty. Cover and allow cheese to melt. Place split Kaiser rolls on edges of grilling surface to warm/slightly toast. To assemble burger, place patty on bottom half of toasted Kaiser roll. Add two slices of bacon and generous portion of onion-mushroom topping to patty. Serve immediately.
