  • 3 Lbs Ground Chuck Beef 80% lean / 20% fat
  • 4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 4-8 Slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 Hamburger Buns

Instructions
 

  • Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
  • Salt & pepper the ground beef and then divide into 2/3 lb portions. Flatten into patties, cover with plastic wrap, and flatten with the bottom of a pan.
  • Break cheese into strips and form two piles. Insert cheese piles into the center of the first patty.
  • Take the 2nd patty and place it on top. Pinch corners of the two patties together, ensuring there are no holes.
  • Grill your burgers about 4min on the first side.
  • Flip burgers. Put the buns face down on the grill. Cook until you reach the correct temp (140F for medium), usually about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Enjoy carefully, that molten cheese center is hot!
