Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 100 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, and bread crumbs until well-mixed.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the beef mixture. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each portion into a thin patty.
Cut the cheddar cheese into 4 equal pieces.
Place a piece of cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
Cover each cheese-topped patty with one of the remaining patties, pressing the edges together to seal and encase the cheese completely.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the burger patties to the skillet.
Cook each side for 6-7 minutes or until the patties are well-cooked, with a minimum internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Serve immediately with your choice of bun and toppings.
