2 Coots Ranch Inside-Out Burgers

🛠️ What You’ll Need (Makes 4 burgers):

• 2 lbs of 2 Coots Ranch ground beef (or the best you’ve got!)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese (we like it spicy 🔥)
• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
• 4 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional but highly recommended)
• Salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder to taste
• 4 sturdy hamburger buns
• Your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, ranch dressing—we don’t judge!)

🔥 How to Make ’Em:

1. Prep the Filling
   In a small bowl, mix your cheese, onions, and crumbled bacon. Set aside and try not to eat it all before the burgers are ready.
2. Form the Patties
   Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each one into a thin patty. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy mix onto 4 of them.
3. Seal the Deal
   Take the other 4 patties and gently lay them over the top of the filled ones. Pinch the edges real good—like sealing a meaty pie—so none of that cheesy magic leaks out.
4. Season Up
   Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Simple, but it does the trick.
5. Grill Time
   Fire up that grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the burgers 5–6 minutes per side, or until they’re browned outside and the inside’s hot and melty. Don’t press down on ‘em—you’ll lose the goo!
6. Build Your Burger
   Toast your buns if you're feeling fancy. Load up with your favorite toppings, and don’t forget a big ol’ napkin. These bad boys are juicy!

🐄 Coots Tips:

• Want to go wild? Add jalapeños or BBQ sauce to the filling.
• No grill? Cast iron on the stove works just fine.
• These freeze great—just wrap the stuffed, uncooked patties tight and save ’em for a rainy day.
