Equipment
- 1 grill
Ingredients
Burger Patty:
- 1 cup of Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of Whole Milk or Beef broth for a tasty, dairy–free option
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 3/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 lbs. Ground Beef
- 12 x 3/4 oz Slices of Cheese American or swiss Cut into 4 Pieces
To Serve:
- 6 Large Hamburger Buns
- Your favorite condiments Pickles//ketchup/tomatoes/relish
Instructions
- Soak the soft bread crumbs in milk for a few minutes before adding in the egg and dry crumbs along with Worcestershire sauce and seasoning. Now add the meat and mix very gently.
- Divide the mix into 12 balls and pat half of them down to roughly 1⁄2” thick and 31⁄2” wide. These are the “lids”. The remaining six will form the “pots” that you will pop your cheese into: just push a depression into the ball with the bottom of a drinking glass. Fill and seal the whole lot up and pinch the edges together.
- Pop into the fridge for an hour (at least), so they can firm up before cooking them.
- Preheat your grill and drop the heat to med–hot. Cook as for charcoal grill, only cover the patties.
- Toast the buns (open face down) for the last minute or so of cooking.
- Let the burgers stand for a few minutes to let the cheese cool a bit.
- Serve in the buns with your favorite condiments and toppings.
