Instructions
Season the meat
Gently mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Do not overwork — mix just until combined.
Form stuffed patties
Divide meat into 8 portions. Flatten each into a thin disc. Pile cheddar cubes in the center of 4 discs. Top with remaining discs and press edges firmly to seal all around, ensuring no gaps where cheese can leak.
Pro tip: Make the top patty slightly larger than the bottom to ensure a proper seal around the edges.
Chill briefly
Place formed patties in the fridge for 15 minutes. This firms them up and helps the seal hold during grilling.
Grill
Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F). Grill stuffed patties for 5-6 minutes per side. Avoid pressing down on them — you do not want to squeeze out the cheese. Check that the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F / 71°C by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the patties. The juices should run clear.
Assemble and serve
Toast buns on the grill for 30 seconds. Rest patties for 2-3 minutes, then place on buns with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Serve immediately.
