A "New" Hamburger Patty Recipe ;)

Amy's dad, Penny, has been staying with us the past couple days and one of the things he loves to do is cook. Yesterday, he asked us what we wanted for dinner, and we decided on hamburgers with cheese and bacon.

Now, I've put diced onions in hamburger patties. But I've never mixed egg into a patty before (yes, I know I'm a novice). What he did next was pretty impressive. He mixed shredded cheddar cheese into the patties. When I heard it, I thought, "Well, that sounds like it could be good." And it was.

So I decided to write up the recipe for future reference.
