Cheese Stuffed BBQ Beef Burger
Servings:
8 burgers
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 slices Peppered Havarti or any soft cheese (about 3 ounces)
- 2 lb (1 kg) ground lean beef
- 1 ½ tsp (7.5 mL) salt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) EACH garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper
- 8 (4-inch) hamburger buns, split and toasted
- Bacon, lettuce and tomato toppings
Method
- Fold each slice of cheese in half, then in half again to form 8 squares, set aside.
- Place the meat in a large bowl and add the salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire, and pepper.
- Mix with your hands until just evenly combined or add to a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
- Divide the meat into 16 equal portions and place on a work surface.
- Using your fingertips or a burger press, make 2 portions of the meat into 2 rough 1/4-inch-thick patties that are each about 1 inch wider in diameter than the hamburger buns.
- On half of the beef patties place the cheese stacks in the centre of each patty.
- Top the cheese patties with the reserved beef patties and pinch to form a tight seal with hands round the beef patty to ensure it is sealed and slightly flatten to form one thick beef patty.
- Repeat with the 7 others and refrigerate while the grill heats up.
- Heat up the barbecue to medium high heat (375˚F); oil the grill with oiled paper towel.
- Place burgers on the grill and close the lid.
- Grill 4 minutes per side and flip and repeat.
- Remove burgers from the grill when fully cooked to 160˚F.
- Place on a platter tented with foil and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with toasted buns and assorted toppings.
