Double Kraut-Double Cheese Burgers

Recipe Created by Cathy Pollak for NoblePig.com | Serves: 5 burgers

Ingredients:

1-1/4 pounds ground beef (85/15)
1 lb (16 oz) sauerkraut (bag or jar), drained and divided
salt
10 slices center cut bacon, cooked

5 slices Sargento Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Slices
5 slices Sargento Vermont White Cheddar Cheese Slices
mayonnaise
5 hamburger buns

Directions:

In a large bowl combine ground beef and half of the sauerkraut. Form into five equal patties (the patties will be more delicate than regular burgers, be gentle with them).

Cook burgers as desired, I made mine in my cast iron skillet. Season with salt.

Toast buns while burgers are cooking. Build your burger with bun on bottom, cheese, burger, more cheese, 2 bacon slices and sauerkraut. Spread top bun with mayonnaise before placing it on the sauerkraut.
