"The cheese is stuffed into the middle of the burger."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1⁄4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
• 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons paprika
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

directions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.
3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
4. *To grill*: Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) *To broil*: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.
