Cheesy-Stuffed Burger

Let’s Make a Sandwich – Episode 5

Everyone loves burger, it may be a simply pan friend patty, grilled, or gourmet. I prefer something that will give twist on how you prepare your burger.

Let’s cook some oozing cheese out of your patty burger. Not the way it was ordinarily prepared but it tasted like your ordinary cheese burger.

Ingredients:

1 ¼ lb. ground beef (you can also use pork)

Salt

Pepper

1 small bulb onion (finely chopped or minced)

1 small carrot (finely chopped or minced)

2 parts garlic (crushed and finely chopped)

1 – 2 eggs

Quick melt Cheese 

2 – 4 pcs. Of bun

4 lettuce leaves

2 Tomato (sliced)

Direction:

1. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl except the cheese.
2. Form patties out of the mixture.
3. Take about table spoon full of cheese and stuff it in your patty. (you can also sandwich the cheese between 2 patties)
4. Fry until meat is cooked (watch out as the cheese might ooze out and might get burnt)
5. Pan toast your bun at your liking.
6. Place some lettuce, then your patty (apply mayonnaise if you wanted), and some sliced tomatoes.

You can now dig into your burger and enjoy the burst of stuffed cheese in every bite.

Enjoy and have a great - fun - cooking time!
