Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese or 1/4 cup gruyere cheese
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons montreal steak spices

Method

  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Combine Cheddar and Mozzarella (or Gruyere) in a small bowl.
  • Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika, ground pepper and Montreal steak spices 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 the 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).
