Bacon Stuffed Cheseburgers by Divya Gugnani

Makes 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
4 slices cooked chopped bacon
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large split hamburger buns
ketchup, mayo and mustard for serving
PREPARATION:
1. Combine cheese and chopped bacon in a bowl. Put the beef in another bowl and sprinkle salt and pepper, mixing with a rubber spatula.
2. Flatten 1/4 of the meat mixture in between the palms of your hands. Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture into a small ball and place in the center of the beef. Bring the sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is totally covered by the beef. Flatten slightly for a patty shape. Place in the refrigerator while the grill heats up.
3. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or an outdoor preheated barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.
4. Grill burgers for 8 minutes on each side for a medium char. Place onto a clean plate until serving.
5. Rub the grill with more oil and place the buns cut-side down, toasting them for 1 minute.
6. Place burgers on bun, garnish to your liking and enjoy!
