I’ve wanted to prepare stuffed burgers for a while now (probably for two months). I took a long time because I knew that if I was going to stuff my beef, I needed to stuff it with something worthwhile. I wanted to use two stuffing ingredients, ones that would compliment each other and when united, make our taste buds jump of joy. Then it hit me…bacon and pesto. The perfect two. Each can make a dish shine, so you can only imagine what happens when they are combined!
These burgers literally lasted a day in my household. Preston ate 2 and I ate 2. Usually it’s more of a 3 to 1 ratio (hubby eating 3 and me eating 1…which is totally fine, since he is a guy and way bigger than me), but this time I was not going to let that happen. I wanted my fair share ;).
We both literally ate ½ lb. of beef + bacon + pesto in one sitting. Epic. I love how protein not only feels you up, but also helps your muscles grow strong. I’m a total meat lover…yes, guilty as charged. Say hello to these wonderful Paleo Bacon-Pesto Stuffed Burgers!

I think I may need to put one level down on my oven….they were very well done at 6 minutes, but still very good….hubby liked…thank you
Making this as I type, they were so easy and I know they’ll be delicious. Mine also were well done by 9mins. Thanks again for ur wonderful site! I’m on week three of the training and loving it!
