Oh boy, are these good!! It's a Food & Wine magazine recipe - we just used cheddar instead of the Camembert & Gorgonzola cheeses. Might have to try those tho.

Double-Pork, Double-Cheese Burgers
1/2 cup finely chopped bacon
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 large garlic clove -- minced
2 teaspoons finely chopped thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Four 1/2-inch-thick red onion slices
Olive oil -- for drizzling
4 hamburger buns or ciabatta rolls
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted
6 ounces Camembert -- cut into eight 1/3-inch-thick slices
2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese -- cut into four 1/3-inch-thick slices
Arugula and 4 tomato slices
In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain and let cool. In a large bowl, mix the bacon with the ground pork, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Shape into four 1-inch-thick patties.
Light a grill. Drizzle the onion slices with olive oil and grill over moderately high heat until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
Brush the cut sides of the buns with the melted butter and grill, cut sides down, until toasted, about 1 minute.
Turn and grill for 30 seconds longer. Transfer the buns to the platter.
Grill the burgers until charred outside and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Arrange 2 Camembert slices and a Gorgonzola slice on each burger and cook until the cheese is melted, 1 minute.
On the bottom halves of the buns, layer the arugula, tomato, burgers and grilled onion. Close the burgers and serve.
Make Ahead: The burgers can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

Realized I didn't have any burger buns for the sandwiches, so used the 1 hour dinner roll recipe and made 4 hamburger buns and 4 hot dog buns out of it. Tasted great, didn't hold up as well as I hoped, but not too bad either for a last minute solution.

I used 5 oz. of dough for each bun, WAY too big, next time I'll try 2-3 oz. But a good flavor!

When you’re in a hurry but want bread at the last minute, here is the perfect little dinner roll.
After Work Dinner Rolls
2 T. active dry yeast
1/4 cup water, 105-110° F.
3 T. sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, heated to 105° F.
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
4 1/2 cups flour
Optional: add a teaspoon of your favorite dry herbs to the dough
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5 minutes. Add sugar and oil; stir with a fork to blend. Add remaining ingredients beating until smooth.
Let rise in mixing bowl for 10 minutes. Lightly grease three 9” round cake pans or an equivalent larger baking pan.
Shape the dough into rolls and place, slightly touching into pans. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake rolls 15-20 minutes.
CJ’s tip: For a really wonderful flavor, melt bacon grease and dip the rolls in before placing in baking pan. Additionally, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over the top before baking.
