1
Prepare the Bacon
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
2
Prepare the Beef Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped bacon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Form Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions. Form each portion into a patty, making an indentation in the center of each to hold the filling.
4
Fill the Patties
In the center of each patty, add an equal amount of diced tomatoes and shredded smoked cheddar cheese. Carefully fold the edges of the patty over the filling, sealing it completely.

5
Cook the Stuffed Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are nicely browned.
6
Toast the Burger Buns
While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and place them cut side down on the grill or in a separate skillet. Toast until golden brown.

7
Assemble the Juicy Nookie
On the bottom half of each toasted burger bun, place a generous amount of shredded lettuce. Add the cooked stuffed patty on top, then drizzle with chipotle mayo. Top with the other half of the bun.
8
Serve
Serve the stuffed juicy nookie immediately while hot. Enjoy!
