Posted on February 17, 2010 By akemp (Edit) Leave a Comment
Hi Amber Chase! Do you enjoy a good burger every now and then? I do. But instead of heading to your local fast food eatery, why not try making something yourself. Burgers are usually always easy to make. The only downfall can be the cheese. It melts right off! But, why not make it with the cheese INSIDE so you can enjoy all of the melty goodness? Try this on for size!
Inside-Out Cheeseburgers
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup(s) shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup(s) shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1 pound(s) 90%-lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
Directions:
- Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
- Combine Cheddar and Gruyère in a small bowl.
- Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
- To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they’ll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
