How to Make Stuffed Burgers with Cheese Bombs
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
- Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal balls. Flatten each ball to create a disc.
- Place a piece of cheese in the center of 4 discs. Top with the remaining 4 discs and pinch the edges to seal the cheese inside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed burgers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast your burger buns on the grill for a minute until lightly browned.
- Assemble your burgers with your desired toppings, serve, and enjoy!
Tips for Making Stuffed Burgers with Cheese Bombs
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing the ground beef too much can result in tough burgers. Mix gently just until combined.
- Seal Properly: Ensure the edges of your burgers are well-sealed to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
- Use a Thermometer: To ensure your burgers are cooked to the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer (160°F for well done).
