New Recipe Thurday

So we've had these burgers 2 times all ready because we saw them on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives....Stuffed Cheese Burgers. I made them again last night and Den LOVES them....so if you like burgers, I suggest trying these at home...this is my first attempt at writing my own recipe, so if you have questions about how to make them, call me or email me. ENJOY!

2 BURGERS

Ingredients

• Cheese of your choice
• 4 slices cooked bacon for serving
  
• 1 pound ground chuck
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Grill Seasoning
  
• 2 large hamburger buns, split
• Ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard, for serving
• Lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and avocado, for serving

Directions

Make 4 burger patties out of ground beef. Season the patties with grill seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pile cheese in the middle of 2 patties directly in the center, leaving enough room around the edges. Then take the 2 patties without cheese and place on top of the 2 with cheese. With your fingers press the sides of the patty together making sure the filling is covered completely.

Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat a griddle flat top and get it very hot. Brush the top with oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Grill the burgers for about 10 minutes on each side. After 8 minutes on the first side, cut a slit in the top of the burger in order to keep the cheese from oozing out of the side of the burger. (The USDA recommends cooking ground beef until it is no longer pink and the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.) Remove the burgers to a clean side plate while you toast the buns.

Rub the grill rack with more oil and place the buns cut-side down, toast for 1 minute. Serve the burgers with your favorite condiment and any garnish you like, such as lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, bacon, and/or avocado.
