In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt with your hands. Form a small handful at a time (about 1/4 pound) into 12 thin patties. Arrange the patties on a cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Put the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Lift the bacon out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Lower the heat to medium and cook the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until soft and just starting to brown. Combine the onions and bacon in a small bowl.

Meanwhile, take the beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 patties with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges to seal.

Grill the stuffed patties until the beef is no longer pink in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve on hamburger buns with the condiments of your choice.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
