Step by Step Instructions

  1. Divide each slice of cheese into 4 squares each. Set aside.

    For this step

    • 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
  2. To a large bowl, add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Combine, but DO NOT OVERMIX! Divide mixture into fourths and those fourths into halves.

    For this step

    • 1 lb ground beef
    • ½ tablespoon salt
    • ½ tablespoon pepper
    • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  3. Using a small spoon, make a dip or divot into four of the burger patties. Add 4 small squares (1 slice cheese) into the cavity of these patties. Top with the other patty and seal the sides with your fingers and form one large patty. Do this until you have 4 hamburger patties.

  4. Preheat a large skillet, griddle or a grill to medium high heat. Add oil to the skillet or gently spray the grill with cooking spray. Cook the stuffed cheeseburgers on one side until a crust forms (about 4-5 minutes). Then flip and cook the other side for about 3-4 minutes. Remove, add to a bun, add burger toppings and serve!

    For this step

    • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
