Juicy Cheese Stuffed Better Burger

A Juicy Cheese Stuffed Better Burger is a mouthwatering twist on the classic hamburger. This recipe features a flavorful beef patty with a gooey, melted cheese center. Here's how you can make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ pounds ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 ounces cheddar or your preferred cheese, cut into cubes
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, onion, and other toppings of your choice
• Condiments of your choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and shape it into a flat patty.
3. Place a few cubes of cheese (about 1 ounce) in the center of the patty. Take another portion of ground beef and flatten it into a patty of the same size. Place it on top of the cheese-filled patty.
4. Press the edges of the two patties together to seal them, ensuring the cheese is completely covered and won't melt out during cooking. Repeat this process to form the remaining patties.
5. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
6. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties too much during cooking to retain their juiciness.
7. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two, until they are slightly crispy.
8. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments.
10. Serve the Juicy Cheese Stuffed Better Burgers while they're still hot, and enjoy!

The combination of juicy beef, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings makes this burger truly delicious.
