Brie Stuffed Burgers with Sweet Chili Mayo & Corn Salsa

Growing up, my family lived in the Cleveland, Ohio area. My parents didn’t take the family out a whole lot; having seven kids tended to make Friday and Saturday night outings a bit more of a rare event. But when we did get out, we would pretty much always go to a restaurant in Lakewood, OH called The Rush Inn. It’s not a fancy restaurant or anything, but they do have really incredible food, and especially awesome burgers.

My dad always ordered the blue cheese burger and since I was just a little kid at the time, my dinner would consist of a few bites of his burger. I know, what kid eats and likes blue cheese?!? Well, me, but then again I used to eat carrots instead of chips too. I surely was an odd one.

Anyway, I remember this burger tasting amazing, and I have always wanted to recreate it. So when I started cooking, I had to try creating my own blue cheese stuffed burgers. They’re actually so easy to make and they always turn out amazing. For this burger though, I swapped the blue cheese for brie (oh my gosh, yes!) and made things even easier by using the Cuisinart 3-in-1 Burger Press. If you don’t own this press, you should. It makes the perfect stuffed burger, slider or even a regular patty. It’s such a helpful gadget, so awesome!

Equally awesome are the flavors going on in this burger. For one, it’s stuffed with melty brie. Really, does a burger get any better than when it is stuffed with brie? I mean, come on! I also added a sweet chili mayo and corn salsa for some spice, sweetness and texture.

I promise guys, this is the burger for all of your cookouts. Did I mention the bacon? If you’re a bacon lover, make sure to top off this brie stuffed burger with your favorite type of bacon for extra juiciness and flavor. So good!
