Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Burgers
Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Burgers are one of our favorite quick and easy dinners. I start these burgers by making a cheese filling that I stuff into the burger patties. Then, I make a Creamy Burger Sauce. Finally, I grill the burgers and serve them on brioche buns, topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions. We like these burgers for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make these burgers in just about twenty minutes. That makes them perfect for busy days. Secondly, I like that I can make many of the components ahead of time. Then, I just grill the burgers right before serving. And, finally, we all love the cheesy middles of these burgers. And the Creamy Burger Sauce is delicious, too.
The Equipment I Used
- A Cast Iron Skillet- I like to use this to pan grill my burgers, but you can use any skillet.
The Ingredients Needed for Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Burgers
- Ground Beef- Lately I’ve been buying grass-fed ground beef sirloin. But I also like ground chuck for my burgers.
- Cheddar- I like to use extra sharp cheddar, and Cabot is my favorite brand.
- Buns- I like the St. Pierre brioche buns. But you can use whatever buns you like.
- Cream Cheese- You’ll need this for the burger filling. I always use the Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
- Mayonnaise- You’ll need this for the Creamy Burger Sauce. I always use the Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
- Pickles- Use the sweet bread and butter pickles. I like the Bubbie’s brand.
How I Made my Burgers
- First, I made the Creamy Burger Sauce.
- Then, I stuffed the burgers with the cheese.
- Finally, I grilled the burgers and added all the toppings. I think with these burgers it’s good to cook them on just medium heat. This prevents the cheese from oozing out and burning.
