Wisconsin Mooburger® (Stuffed Burger)

The flavorful Mooburger®, with your choice of cheese tucked meltingly in the center, is grilled to perfection and topped with the familiar fixings.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 large egg
6 slices tomato
6 lettuce leaves
3/4 cup shredded Wisconsin Pepper Jack cheese*
6 hamburger buns, sliced

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, and eggs; mix well, but lightly.
2. Divide mixture into 12 balls; flatten each on waxed paper to 4 inches across.
3. Place 1 tablespoon cheese on each of 6 patties. Top with remaining patties, carefully pressing edges to seal.
4. Grill patties 4 inches from hot coals, turning only once, for 6 to 9 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. To keep cheese between patties as it melts, do not flatten burgers with spatula while grilling.
5. Place burgers on buns and top with tomato and lettuce.

Makes 6 servings.

*Or crumbled Wisconsin Blue Cheese, crumbled Wisconsin Basil & Tomato Feta Cheese or other shredded Wisconsin cheese.

Caution: Cheese filling may be very hot if eaten immediately after cooking.
