Bacon Stuffed Burgers

From the Kitchen of: Pepper

4	slices	Bacon
1/4	C	Chopped onion
1	4 oz. can	Mushroom pieces drained & finely chopped
1	lb	Lean ground beef
1	lb	Bulk pork sausage
1/4	C	Grated Parmesan cheese
1/2	tsp	Pepper
1/4	tsp	Garlic powder
2	tbsp	Steak sauce
8		Hamburger buns, split & toasted
		Leaf lettuce, optional

Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and discard all but 2 tbsp. drippings. Sauté onions in drippings until tender. Crumble bacon; add with mushrooms to skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine beef, pork, cheese, pepper, garlic powder and steak sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 16 patties.
Divide bacon mixture and place over 8 of the patties. Place remaining patties on top and press edges tightly to seal. Grill over medium coals until well-done (pork sausage in burgers requires thorough cooking). Serve on buns, with lettuce, if desired.
