Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Certified Angus Beef ® ground beef (80/20 blend ideal)
- 6 slice American Cheese
- 3 clove Fresh Garlic, finely chopped (or substitute 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ tsp Coarse Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Canola Cooking Spray
- 4 ea Hamburger Buns
- Grill Pan or Cast Iron Pan (optional)
Recipe Preparation
- Cut each cheese slice evenly into 4 squares; arrange in 4 stacks with 6 slices each.
- In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, garlic, Worcestershire, salt and pepper; mix by hand.
- Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties on a large sheet pan. With your thumb, press an indented well in the centre of 4 patties and put the portioned cheese in the wells. Encase the cheese with the remaining 4 patties, hand forming your burger to a uniform shape with sealed edges. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Spray burgers with a light coat of cooking spray. Grill or pan sear over high heat 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cool side of grill or 375°F(190°C) oven to finish cooking to an internal doneness of 160°F (71°C) (5 to 8 minutes). Remove from grill and rest at least 3 minutes for cheese to set.
