Bacon Double Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Try these for your next cookout! Mmm.... The filling oozes out and really adds a nice punch. We made our hamburgers somewhere between 1/4-1/3 pound total and pressed the two halves fairly thin. It will look like a LOT of filling, but it works! Recipe can easily be doubled.
