Ultimate Cheese Stuffed Burger | This Is Why I’m Full
I am so beyond proud of our Ultimate Cheese-Stuffed Burger, before you ask I did NOT eat this one, this was the Hubby’s, mine was about half this size, and even then I had a hard time finishing the whole thing! But it was so delicious that I almost made another one, even though I was full! We didn’t even make any side dishes, which for me is almost unheard of, because when it comes to french fries I don’t mess around!
This picture makes me very sad that I am taking a break from red meat, it makes my mouth water. (and yes, I tried turkey burgers, it just isn’t the same!) Don’t even get me started on how tasty the Bacon we used was, we found it at our grocery store ONE time and we haven’t been able to find it since! It’s very sad!
The Hubby had never really had caramelized onions before he met me, but I have remedied that situation, because I am a huge fan of onions in every shape, size and form! (he had never had animal style fries before he met me, I couldn’t believe it!)
Anyway, this recipe is pretty simple and it becomes even simpler if you have a Stuffed Burger Press like we do! I know, it’s a silly kitchen tool that we don’t use all that often, but its very good at its job! It is also nice to always make the perfectly round patties that you usually have to buy frozen! Just lovely. And for as useful as this tool is it’s relatively cheap!

- For patties:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 2 oz Pepper Jack cheese grated
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 2 clove garlic minced
- Our toppings:
- 3-4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
- 8 whole bacon slices cooked until crispy
- 1 slice Red Onion sliced thickly and caramelized
- 2 hamburger buns
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
- In a mixing bowl combine your ground beef, garlic salt, pepper and minced garlic.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into eight roughly equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- If you have a stuffed burger press, use it, if not follow the instructions below:
- Flatten the balls of ground beef out, stuffing 4 of the 8 with 1/2 oz. cheese.
- Lay the extra 4 flattened beef rounds on top of the cheesed rounds, and pinch the edges together until they are well sealed
- Throw them on your preheated grill and cook to your favorite level of doneness
- If you want more cheese (the hubby always does!) put a slice on each patty before removing from the grill and let it melt
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! (obviously we used bacon, cheese, and caramelized onions
- Serves 4 (or 3 if you have a spouse who eats two patties on one burger like mine!)
