Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® ground beef (80/20 blend ideal)

6 slices American cheese

3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped (or substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Canola cooking spray

4 buns

Grill pan or cast iron pan (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Cheese: Cut each cheese slice evenly into 4 squares; arrange in 4 stacks with 6 slices each.

2. Mix Beef: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix by hand until well combined.

3. Form Patties: Form the beef mixture into 8 thin patties on a large sheet pan. Press an indented well in the center of 4 patties and place the cheese stacks in the wells. Encase the cheese with the remaining 4 patties, hand forming your burger to a uniform shape with sealed edges. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

4. Cook Burgers: Spray the burgers with a light coat of cooking spray. Grill or pan sear over high heat for 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the cool side of the grill or to a 375°F oven to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F (5 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat and let rest for at least 3 minutes to allow the cheese to set.

5. Serve: Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

efrigeration: Chilling the patties before grilling helps them hold their shape and keeps the cheese from melting out.

Resting Time: Allow the burgers to rest after cooking to ensure the cheese sets and doesn’t ooze out immediately when bitten into.

Pairing Suggestion: Serve with crispy French fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
