Bacon Wrapped Beer Can Burgers Recipe

We’re lucky living here in Las Vegas in that we can pretty much grill all year long. Especially now in the summer. I mean, who wants to have to turn the oven on? Totally not me. We make all the typical BBQ fare – Ribs, Brats, Steaks. But every once in awhile you hear of some internet or Pinterest craze that you just can’t help but try, right? Sometimes I’m impressed and sometimes, well, not so much. All hype no yum. But, let me tell you, these Beer Can Burgers everyone is hyping = total score!

I made that beer can chicken and it was pretty tasty, so why not give this a go too. I admit, they kind of had me at Bacon. Because, obviously. But I had to wonder, what makes these beer can burgers different than say, a stuffed burger? Aside from just being super cool to say… Beer Can Burgers… they are way easier to make. Like crazy, way easy. And, none of all the goodies fall out! I hate that! You take all this time and effort stuffing burger balls and at that very first bite… leakage. Such a bummer. And why has no one done this before? Or, maybe they have but it took a cool Youtube video to get it to kick off? Ya know, I don’t care. I’m just glad I have beer can burgers in my life. And now, you can too. You’re welcome!

I know you've heard about the latest BBQ grilling craze - Beer Can Burgers, yes? Well today I'm sharing our take. We made ours mushroom, onion and swiss Bacon Wrapped Beer Can Burgers. But the possibilities are endless, a MUST try!
Ronni Keller:
Recipe type: BBQ Grilling Hamburgers
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Ground Beef (we used 80/20)
  • 2 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper To Taste
  • Seasoning Salt (or favorite rub or seasoning)
  • 6 slices Bacon (crisp up 2 and chop)
  • 8 Cubes Chunk Swiss Cheese (about 1 inch in size)
  • ½ Onion (diced)
  • 8-10 Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 4 Hamburger Buns and Favorite Condiments
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix and season meat thoroughly. Form into four round balls.
  2. Press a full can of COLD beer into the center of each ball. Form and fold the meat into an even cup shape around the can. (cold cans slip out easier and no meat will stick) Wrap bacon around each 'cup' of burger.
  3. Sauté mushrooms and onions in a bit of oil.
  4. Pop 1 cube of cheese in the bottom of each burger, then evenly distribute veggies. Cover with another cube of cheese. Sprinkle crisped up chopped bacon over the top of each burger.
  5. Now, fire up that grill! We're cooking the beer can burgers using low, indirect heat. Put the burgers on the grill and close the lid. And quit lifting it up every 10 minutes!. You're loosing heat baby. After an hour, check to make sure they are done. The bacon should be fully cooked and all the cheese melted. (meat thermometer should register *165)
  6. Remove from grill. Serve on buns with favorite condiments. I used some spicy-kick-you-in-the-butt BBQ sauce!

  1. DUDE! You nailed it. I am making these for my husband on Father’s Day for sure. NOM!

    • It’s genius all right. I love that all those other delicious ingredients are nested in the center of the burger.

  10. Dude, you rock! I totally pinned this recipe and will be making it the next time we have burgers. I’ve been looking for a good burger recipe because I’m tired of the same old, same old. Hats off to you, my friend!

  14. You caught my attention with bacon, and then you pulled me in with the cheese and mushrooms in the center. I can’t wait to have my husband make these!

  15. This looks like an amazing burger, it is mouthwatering! A nice change of pace from the normal burger, I will have to make this for the 4th!

  17. Wow! This would make a lot of men (and women) very happy! What a cool idea, especially for Father’s Day or any day in the summer!

  21. You had me at bacon.
    Those look amazing!
    Will have to give that a whirl this weekend.
    Did you attach the bacon with a toothpick so it would cook properly?

    • You sure can! We didn’t need to, it seemed to bond really good on it’s own. I let the bacon sit out for about 15-20 mins so it was warmer than the beef thinking that would help and maybe that’s why. Try it, let me know how toothpicks work!!

  22. Now this is a serious burger! My husband just might fall in love with this burger! lol Nice timing with Dad’s Day coming up…we’re gonna try these on the grill this weekend!

  24. I have never seen a burger made like this before. But holy yum! It looks absolutely delicious! And gotta love the added bacon! You are a genius!

  26. I love that you actually shaped and molded the burgers and bacon around the beer can. That seemed to work quite well and the end result looks amazing!

  27. This look sooo good! Oh my God. I like that you used the Beer Can as the centre for great filings. I would use Turkey Bacon

  37. Wow… those burgers look and sounds amazing. I will be sharing this with my husband who LOVES to grill and loves to make burgers… he will for sure try these.

  38. This looks so delicious. I just bought a new grill and this is a perfect recipe to try on it. I think they will be a big hit.

  43. Ok, now that looks incredible. I know my husband and father would love these, so they are definitely going on our Father’s Day menu.

  44. My husband was just saying how he’d love some beer can burgers. This sounds like the perfect recipe to surprise him with!

  57. That looks great! What a clever idea to stuff the burger! And wrapping it in bacon…genius!

  58. Ok, this is the most clever idea I have ever seen. I read if you make a dent int he middle of a burger it cooks better, but this takes it to a whole new level.

  61. Haven’t heard of it till now. What a funny idea, I wonder how it started? Someone set their beer down in the wrong place? haha Great way to top a burger!

  65. I saw this recipe and thought “Boy, that’s got my hubby’s name written all over it!” Funny that it’s a Father’s Day post! But I guess a lot of guys go for any combination of beer and bacon. haha Looks delicious.
