Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 25 mins


• combine ground beef, worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. form 8, thin patties from the beef. each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.
• cut each slice of american cheese into 4 equal pieces; stack the pieces. sandwich one stack of cheese between 2 ground beef patties. tightly pinch edges together tightly seal the cheese within the meat. repeat with the remaining cheese and patties.
• preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. cook burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes. it is common for burgers to puff up due to steam from the melting cheese. turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow steam to escape; cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside; about 4 minutes. serve on hamburger buns.
