Indeed I did. Introducing the Stufz Burger Press. Is this really necessary? Nope. But it was fun.

So awhile back, I saw this little dandy on one of the bbq forums. BBQBrethren, SmokingMeatForums, I forget which.
Anyway, once I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Sooo.. I bought one.

The Stufz burger press is exactly what it sounds like. A relatively easy way to stuff a hamburger patty with whatever fillings you so desire. This product enables you to stuff the patty without fear of blowouts or leaks.

My first venture is probably playing it a little safe, but hey, I love a good bacon cheeseburger. So why not stuff it.

First, the ingredients:
I started with some cooked crumbled bacon, nicely caramelized onions, and a mix of a couple different cheeses. In this pic, you can also see the naked burger press.

Then we add the meat. and make no mistake, it takes a lot. This is no wimpy burger. I figure I was well into the 3/4lb range, not even counting the filling.

Next I added cheese. This is a mix of mozzarella, cheddar and havarti.

And some caramelized onions, mmmmmm..

Toss in some of the good stuff: crumbled bacon.

Add the top layer of meat, close the Stufz and give it a little push and voila, you get a massive, cheese and bacon filled patty of doom!

And finally… Man I wish I was a better photographer. I’m definitely putting that on the list of things to do. That and purchase better buns for the next Stufz test!  Behold this Beast!
