Surprise Cheeseburgers

These burgers are a hit anytime of the year—tucking the cheese inside the hamburger is a treat for all.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, cut into 8 slices
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Cooking Directions:

1. Divide beef into 8 equal portions. Wrap each portion around an individual slice of cheese. Seal the seams well and gently flatten to form a fat patty.
2. Heat oil in a skillet and cook patties on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Flip burgers, cover, reduce heat, and cook until no longer pink inside, about 5 more minutes.
3. Serve patties on toasted hamburger buns with your choice of condiments.

Makes 8 servings.
