Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide the beef into 8 equal balls and flatten each into a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Fold each cheddar slice into quarters and stack in the center of 4 patties. Top with the remaining patties and pinch the edges firmly to seal.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook the stuffed patties 5 minutes on the first side. Do not press.

  4. 4

    Flip carefully and cook 5 to 6 minutes more until well browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Rest the burgers 3 minutes so the molten cheese settles and no one burns their mouth.

  6. 6

    Slice the onion and pickles, toast the buns, and serve the burgers with mustard, onion, and pickles.
