GRILLED CHEESE-STUFFED BURGERS



Grilled Cheese-Stuffed Burgers image

These individually wrapped burgers are great to take along to picnics, cookouts or camping trips. The cheese is already stuffed inside, so all you need are your buns and condiments.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
4 ounces Cheddar, cut into 16 small cubes
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 seeded hamburger buns, split and toasted
4 small leaves romaine lettuce
4 slices sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui
1 small vine-ripened tomato, sliced into 4 rounds
Potato chips or French fries, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill over high heat. Divide the meat into four 6-ounce balls. Press 4 small cubes of cheese into the center of each ball and flatten into a 1/2-inch-thick patty about 4 inches in diameter, making sure the cheese stays wrapped in the meat. Sprinkle both sides of the patties evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Wrap each burger in a piece of nonstick aluminum foil, twisting any excess foil at each end so the burger is wrapped in a single layer of foil only. Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire together in a small bowl.
  • 2. Grill the burgers for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and carefully open up the foil packets, allowing the steam to escape. Place the opened foil packets back on the grill, add a spoonful of sauce to the top of each patty and continue to cook until the patty is cooked to at least medium to allow the cheese inside to fully melt, another 4 to 6 minutes.
  • 3. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a bit of sauce and top with a lettuce leaf, onion slice and tomato slice. Top with a patty, another spoon of the remaining sauce and the top of the bun. Serve with chips or fries.

GRILLED STUFFED CRUST PIZZA



Grilled Stuffed Crust Pizza image

The only downside of making pizza in the summer is having to crank up the oven. Unless you make it on the grill! And it doesn't have to be hard. Cooking the dough on a rimmed baking sheet keeps it from sticking. Slipping the pizza onto the grill grates at the end makes for an extra-crispy crust. While we were at it, we stuffed the crust with mozzarella - because we could.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup olive oil
2 pounds store-bought pizza dough
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 mozzarella cheese sticks
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1 pound part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced
40 slices pepperoni
Torn fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the pan, turning to coat it with the oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough fills about two-thirds of the baking sheet, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Slide your hands under the dough, lift and gently stretch it to fit the pan. (It's okay if it doesn't stretch to the corners.) For the final rise, loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until slightly puffy, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • While the dough rises, preheat a grill for high heat - it needs to be 500 to 600 degrees F when covered.
  • Stir the tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a medium bowl until combined.
  • When the dough has risen, place the cheese sticks all the way around the edges, leaving a half-inch border. Fold the dough up and over the cheese sticks until they are totally enclosed, then gently pinch the dough to seal, creating a stuffed crust. Stretch and pull the dough gently to fill the edges of the baking sheet. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan evenly over the dough, all the way to the edge. Then top with the sliced mozzarella, leaving the border exposed. Spoon the tomato mixture over the mozzarella, inside the border. Top with the pepperoni and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan.
  • Put the pizza sheet directly on the grill grates, cover the grill and cook until the crust is lightly browned at the edges, about 15 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, slide the pizza directly onto the grill grates, cover and continue to cook until the crust is dark golden brown and the mozzarella is bubbly and lightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes. Top with some basil leaves and cut into squares.
