Canadian Tourtiere Maple Cheddar Stuffed Peameal Bacon Burger
I created a burger version of a Tourtierre- a Montreal Canadian meat pie made with a combo of ground beef and pork, and sweet baking spices. Between two buns with peameal bacon, maple mustard, maple caramelized onions and granny smith apple, and then stuffed with maple cheddar cheese.

Ingredients
- 6 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
- 6 oz extra lean ground Canadian beef
- 6 oz extra lean ground pork
- 1 small egg white
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp grainy maple mustard
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp savory
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 4 tbsp aged maple cheddar grated
- 4 slices lean Peameal bacon
- 4 whole grain buns hollowed out on both sides
- 4 tbsp whole grain maple grainy mustard
- Granny smith apple sliced
Instructions
- Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until they are very finely minced. Remove from the food processor and squeeze out any residual liquid. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add in the ground beef, pork, egg white, bread crumbs, mustard, cinnamon, savory, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper. Combine together until just mixed through.
- Portion into 8 skinny patties. Lay one patty down, sprinkle with about a tablespoon of shredded cheese and top with another skinny patty. Gently seal the edges and set aside until you’ve continued with the remaining patties.
- Grill over medium high heat on a preheated lightly greased grill for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, grill the peameal bacon for about 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Hollow out the bun insides on both sides. Line the bun bottom with the sliced apple, and a slice of peameal bacon. Smear the top side with the mustard. Top with the cooked burger and enjoy!
