Fresh-ground burger stuffed with gooey Provolone cheese? Yes, please!
Preparation
STEP 1
Divide ground beef into eight 1/4 pound portions and flatten out to patties with a slight indentation in the center.
STEP 2
Add grated Provolone to the center of 4 of the patties. Top with the remaining 4 patties and crimp the edges to sear the cheese in. Season burgers with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
STEP 3
Cook burgers in your desired fashion, (grill, smoke, sauté, or shallow fry). While burgers are cooking toast your hamburger buns. When burgers reach 145 degrees internally, remove and allow to rest. (This should be the temperature of the cheese in the center and the burger should be cooked fully). Allow burgers to rest for 5 minutes, place on bun and dress burgers with onion, pickle and condiments of choice.
