Grilled Stuffed Hamburgers

 

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 tbs. pickle relish
4 oz. cheddar cheese, sliced
4 hamburger buns
sliced tomato
ketchup
mustard
sliced onion
lettuce
hamburger pickles
mayonnaise
cheese

Directions

Preheat the barbecue grill.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix the meat lightly with your hands.

Divide the hamburger mixture into 8 portions. Shape each hamburger into a thin pattie.  Place 1 tablespoon of  pickle relish on four of the patties. Top each with a one ounce slice of  cheese.

Take the other four patties and place on top of the cheese. Press the edges to seal well, otherwise the cheese will leak out.  Season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Grill the hamburgers until one side for several minutes, then carefully turn the hamburger patties over and grill the other side until they are done  It can take about 5 minutes for a well done hamburger pattie. 

Open the hamburger buns and place the open side down on the grill for maybe a minute if you want the buns toasted. 

Serve on toasted buns and top with a slice of tomato, ketchup, mustard, sliced onion,  lettuce, hamburger pickles, mayonnaise or cheese if desired.
