Burger Stuffer Trial

For my birthday my mom got me a nifty new burger stuffing tool.  With as much as I love cheese stuffed burgers I have been wanting to try it out.  Here is the recipe and directions for the delicious result! 

Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
Seasoning (Barbecue, Burger Seasoning )
1 Egg
Cheese Slices
Hamburger buns if desired
Condiments as desired

Directions:
Put the hamburger into a bowl and season generously, add an egg.  Mix it all together with your hands.  Grab a big handful of burger mixture and pat it into the burger stuffer.  Press down to make a hollow middle in the burger.  Take two cheese slice and fold them into the hollow middle.  Press down again and remove from the burger. Shape the burger around the cheese.  Repeat for remaining burgers.   Cook in a pan on med-high heat.  Press down with a spatula to flatten some for the hamburger bun.  cook until desired level of completion (you may have to cook in several batches depending on how many burgers you created).  Serve and enjoy!

Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf Burgers for Dad

I promised my dad that when he visited that I would make him some of these, so when he drove all the way from Montana I had to oblige him.

Ingredients:

2 lb Hamburger

3 Egg

5 pieces of bread (ripped into small pieces)

Cheese Cubed (I made 12 burgers so I had 12 cubes of smoked cheddar)

Seasoning (BBQ, Hickory Smoked Balsamic, Alpine Touch, Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt, Garlic Powder)

Pickles (sliced)

Ketchup (Whatever other accoutrements you prefer on your burger)
Mustard

Hamburger Buns

Directions:

Combine the hamburger, Egg, Bread, and seasoning into a bowl.  Mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure complete mashing together of all ingredients.  Shape the mixture into hamburger rounds.  Make as many as you would like to eat and or have for leftovers.  Take the cubed cheese and smash one cube on the middle of each burger.  Reshape the burger around the cheese so that the cheese is in the middle of the burger.  Cook in a pan or on a grill and turn to get an even browning and melting of the cheese.  While cooking smash down to flatten a bit with your spatula.  Once the burger is cooked to your desired temperature, place on a bun and add your toppings.  Enjoy.
