Any great burger recipes?!
There are two ways you can do this. The first way is to make two small flat patty's, layer some cheese on top of one, top with the other patty, and seal together. You need to make sure the edges are sealed good or else the cheese will ooze out the sides. Then cook either over the grill or in a frying pan until done.
The other way is to make the hamburger into a ball like you're going to make it into a patty. Before you squish it, make a hole in the middle, stuff the cheese in the whole, then cover the hole and form the patty and cook.
Sometimes I'll add sliced onion with the cheese, or I'll even mix in diced onions into the meat before making the pattys.
Answers: I always like to tuck a bit of cheese in the middle of my burger before I cook it. The cheese melts during cooking, and the oils flavor the burger and keep it moist.

I'm with DH on the cheese thing.
I normally add diced onions to the ground beef beforehand... then I would roll the meat into a ball and insert the cheese that way. It's really good with bleu cheese. I've also done cheddar, but bleu is my favorite.
It's also recommended that you ground your own meat. Get some really good steaks and throw them in the food processor. It will be one of the best burgers you will ever eat.
Burger recipe
1 pound of ground beef
1 jalapeno (diced)
1 small bell pepper(diced)
1 pkg of Lipton onion/mushroom soup mix
If you can't each chili, eliminate the jalapeno. Mix all ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Grill and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy
I usually add about 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms, 1/2 c. shredded cheddar or swiss, and 2 T. A-1 steak sauce to 1 lb. ground beef. Just make patties and cook as you normally do. These are messy but delicious.
Go with the 85% lean varity. Then when I get it home, hopefully I bought it on-sale, there is a pretty good amount. I add season salt, just a little and A1 Steak sause to each patty.I cook what I want then freese the rest of the patties. I individually pack them in my vacume sealer food saver bags. I make a pretty thick patty, about 1/3 pound, so I brown it in butter and oil in my black cast iron skillit, on eash side. then wipe the skillet with a paper towel removing as much grease as possible, then place the burgers into a 450 degree oven for about 2-3 min for med rear. Comes out, it nice and juicy. If you like cheese, do it in the oven. I like to top off with Maytag Wisconsin Blue Cheese.then put it all on a toasted bun with the maytag cheese and slowly sauted onions, ketchup, salt and pepper.
