Best 5 Cheddar Stuffed Black Pepper Crusted Burgers Recipes

CHEDDAR-STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide beef into 4 equal portions, and gently form each into a ball. Insert a piece of cheese in the center of each ball, and flatten into 1-inch-thick patties, pinching beef to enclose cheese. Transfer to a plate; with thumb, make a shallow indentation in center of patties, taking care not to expose cheese.
• Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Just before grilling, season patties with salt and pepper. Place on grill; cover, and cook to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let burgers rest 3 to 4 minutes; serve on buns with desired toppings.

BACON CHEDDAR STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp; crumble.
• Combine beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion and shape into 12 large, thin patties.
• Top six patties with 1 tablespoon bacon and 1 tablespoon cheese (this is approximate-use what looks right).
• Place remaining 6 patties on top of cheese/bacon topped patties and press edges to seal.
• Grill or broil for 3-4 minutes per side until done. We like ours well done.

CHEDDAR STUFFED BURGERS (THE JUICY LUCY)

Steps:

• Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix together well.
• Roll the beef into 6 balls. Split each beef ball in half and flatten out to your preferred patty size. Place about 2-3 tablespoons cheese in the center of one patty, then top with the other patty and seal the edges by pinching and smoothing with your fingers.
• Gently press flat, double checking there are no opening for the cheese to escape when the burgers cook.
• Cook on a grill or skillet over medium high heat (usually about 3 minutes per side). Toast the buns and serve with your desired burger toppings

Steps:

• Spread the pepper on a shallow plate and roll the edge of each burger in the pepper until coated.
• Preheat grill. Place burger on the cooking grate over direct medium heat.

• Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
