By Nathan Young on June 16, 2013

This is one of those recipes that is perfect for Summer time and your grill! I don’t know of anyone who does not like eating a juicy burger, well maybe except some vegetarians. This recipe involves making a cheese and bacon stuffed burger! Usually, you would put that special burger on a burger bun bought at a grocery store. But I will not put a special burger on a store-bought bun. So I also made a homemade burger bun! I also made a cooking video showing you how to make the homemade bun and stuffed burger, watch below!

Here’s what you need for the homemade burger buns:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package instant yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg

1. Heat up the water, milk, and butter in a saucepan. Then add to mixture containing yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of flour.

2. Add one egg and stir well. Add 1/2 cup to one cup of flour at a time and stir well! Then knead dough on floured surface until its smooth and elastic.

3. Form pieces of the dough into a shape of a burger bun. Then let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After resting, bake the buns for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Here’s what you need for the burgers:

Ground chuck or round
Your favorite cheese
Cooked bacon
Salt and pepper to taste

4. Take some meat and form it into a burger patty. Then add some cheese and bacon but do not overstuff! Add a second patty on top and then combine well so everything stays inside!
