Looking to mix up your presentation of Braveheart's Black Angus burger? One way to make your burger stand out from the rest is instead of putting the cheese on top, why not mix it up by putting the cheese inside the meat. Surprise your guests with the juicy texture of Braveheart's black angus burgers mixed with a melty surprise inside making for the perfect summer dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds Braveheart Black Angus Burger 
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped (or substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Canola cooking spray
  • 4 buns
  • Grill pan or cast iron pan (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cut each cheese slice evenly into 4 squares; arrange in 4 stacks with 6 slices each.

  2. In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, garlic, Worcestershire, salt and pepper; mix by hand.

  3. Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties on a large sheet pan.

  4. With your thumb, press an indented well in the center of 4 patties and put the portioned cheese in the wells.

  5. Encase the cheese with the remaining 4 patties, hand forming your burger to a uniform shape with sealed edges.

  6. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before grilling.

  7. Spray burgers with a light coat of cooking spray. Grill or pan sear over high heat 3 minutes per side.

  8. Transfer to the cool side of the grill or 375°F oven to finish cooking to an internal doneness of 160°F (5 to 8 minutes). Remove from the grill and rest at least 3 minutes for the cheese to set.
