Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 ounces Cheddar cheese (sliced or cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 Tomato (sliced)
- (as desired) Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until well incorporated, but do not overwork the meat to avoid tough burgers.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten them into thin patties of roughly the same size.
Place a piece of cheddar cheese (approximately 1 ounce) in the center of 4 of the patties. Leave a small border around the edges.
Cover each cheese-topped patty with one of the remaining plain patties. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal, encasing the cheese completely inside.
Heat a skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil to coat the surface lightly.
Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juices.
Allow the burgers to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the cheese cool slightly while staying molten.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Add the cooked cheese-filled patty and top with your desired condiments, then place the top half of the bun on the stack.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
