Beef Burgers with Walnuts and Gorgonzola

These burgers pack big taste with the combination
of crunchy walnuts and gooey Gorgonzola cheese.
Baby arugula provides a perfect peppery match for
these mouth watering burgers.

Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cups finely chopped mushrooms
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 lb regular ground beef
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese divided into 16 portions
32 walnut halves
16 small hamberger rolls

Directions:
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan
over medium heat and sauté bacon
until just cooked but not crisp.
Add red onion and cook until translucent.
Add mushrooms and continue cooking
until water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and egg.
Add beef and gently mix by hand
until all ingredients are incorporated.
Divide mixture into 16 equal portions.
Form into thick patties, about 1-1/2 inches thick
