Inside-Out Cheeseburgers

By BobD

Ingredients

• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup  shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup  shredded gruyere cheese
• 1 1 1 pound  90%-lean ground beef
• 1 1 1 tablespoon  worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 teaspoons  paprika
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon  freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.

Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.

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.

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).
