Easy Bacon, Onion, and Cheese-Stuffed Burgers

These wonderful cheese-stuffed burgers with bacon and caramelized onions are easy to adapt to suit different tastes. My kids, who normally don't have onions on their burgers, really enjoyed these. You can pan-fry them instead of grilling if you prefer.
