Description
A recipe for making juicy burgers filled with cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions.
- Take one portion and flatten it into a thin patty.
- Place one slice of cheese in the center of the patty.
- Take a second portion of beef and place it over the cheese, sealing the edges completely to form a stuffed patty.
- Repeat this process for the remaining portions to make 4 stuffed patties.
- Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
- Mix Worcestershire sauce into the remaining beef scraps, if any, and press onto the outside of the patties for extra flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your preference.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly.
- Place each cooked burger on a toasted bun.
Notes
- Use ground beef with at least 80/20 fat ratio for juicier results.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- Press the edges firmly when sealing to prevent cheese leakage during cooking.
