Beer Can Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burgers

Now, I’d like to you to say that title three times fast! Summer is almost over but not quite yet especially when it comes to food! I love this recipe because you can make it on the grill or in the oven! Goodbye summer recipe blues! This recipe is versatile as you can stuff these burgers with just about anything your heart desires. We stuffed ours with peppers and onions to keep things simple. You will see that I put that the buns were optional. Trust me, they might be optional for you too. One burger is more than enough for one person to be stuffed on. Once you make this you will see what I’m talking about. I can’t wait to make these for Jon and try other things to stuff them with! I'm thinking more bacon and mushrooms!
