servings Ingredients
1 12 pounds extra lean ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
14 teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon freshly ground or coarse ground pepper
7 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Pepper Jack Cheese, divided

How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in large bowl; mix lightly. Shape into 4 (1/2-inch thick) patties.
-
STEP 2
Chop 3 slices cheese. Combine chopped cheese, 3 tablespoons butter and chives in small bowl; mix well. Shape cheese mixture into 4 equal-size balls; flatten slightly. Press small indentation into center of each patty. Place cheese balls into each indentation; form ground beef around cheese ball, pinching to seal well. Place onto large plate. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
-
STEP 3
Heat gas grill on medium or charcoal grill until coals are ash white.
-
STEP 4
Place patties onto grill. Grill, turning once, 10-14 minutes or until internal temperature reaches at least 160°F or until meat is no longer pink in center.
-
STEP 5
Meanwhile, spread cut-sides of bread with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Place onto grill, butter-side down. Grill until toasted. Top each burger with 1 slice cheese before removing from grill.
-
STEP 6
To serve, place lettuce leaf onto bottom half of bun, if desired. Top with burger and tomato slices, if desired, and top half of bun.
Tip #1
Chilling prepared patties before grilling allows butter mixture in center to firm up, making it less likely to ooze out during grilling.
