These were very good little burgers. I cheated however but, found it worked out perfectly. I mixed all the ingredients together except the hamburger and scooped it inside two thin patties. Then I sealed them and put them in the fridge for an hour. We then grilled them for about 15-20 minutes. The cheese was melted nicely and the flavors were great. We had these as a Tappas-style Labor Day & it was a hit. Thanks for posting!
