Servings: 4
Cost: $10
Equipment
- grill
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- 2 tablespoons burger seasoning
- 12 slices sharp American cheese cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 6 hamburger buns
- Lettuce tomato, onion, ketchup, if desired
Instructions
- Divide the ground beef into 12 equal pieces and shape into patties. (Three smaller patties and three larger patties.)
- Arrange the larger patties on a baking sheet or tray and divide the cheese evenly among the patties placing directly in the center of the burger.
- Place the smaller patties on top and fold the edges of the bottom patty up over the sides pinching to seal the edges.
- Grill the burgers (or pan fry) bottom side down for 5 minutes and then flip the burgers over.
- Using a skewer, poke a hole in the top of each burger. This allows the steam to escape and keeps the cheese from busting out of the seams.
- Continue cooking the burgers for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness.
- Allow the burgers to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving so you don’t burn yourself on the molten cheese!
- Serve on buns with your favorite burger toppings.
