Inside Out Burger Recipes

INSIDE OUT BURGER

Steps:

• Heat grill to med-high heat. (We have a Jenn-Air built-in grill on our stove- great for rainy day grilling!)
• Pat ground chuck into 8 1/4-inch patties.
• Place on top of one patty 4 quarters of sliced cheese.
• Top with another patty & crimp the edges so the cheese doesn't melt out while cooking.
• Repeat Steps 3 & 4.
• Place on grill & cook 3-4 minutes, flip & cook 3-4 minutes on other side. (If you want the cool grill marks, cook for 1-2 minutes, then do a quarter turn.).
• Place burger on bun & top wih your favorite burger toppings & enjoy.

INSIDE-OUT CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Combine Cheddar and Mozzarella (or Gruyère) in a small bowl.
• Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika, ground pepper and Montreal steak spices in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking.
• Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties.
• Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of the 4 patties, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
• Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
• To grill: lightly oil the grill rack. Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well (be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out).

KILLER INSIDE OUT BURGER WITH WORCESTERSHIRE TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• In a medium pan over medium to high heat, add bacon and onions, cook until the bacon is rendered but not crisp. Add the chorizo and cook until done. Remove the bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
• Divide ground chuck into 8 equal parts. Form into a loose ball, and create 4-inch patties. Layer 1 piece of cheese onto the center of 1 patty. Top with 1/4 bacon mixture, another slice of cheese, then add another patty on top and gently seal edges and form into a patty, about 4 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches high. Repeat with the remaining patties to make a total of 4 large patties.
• Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Place all 4 patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side, then gently turn over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and pop it in a 250 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, place onto rolls and serve with Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup.
• In medium saute pan over medium heat, add oil and onions. Cook until brown and caramelized. Add the tomatoes, and garlic and cook for a few minutes, just to soften the vegetables. Then add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.
• You can either serve the ketchup chunky or puree it in a blender first and serve it smooth.
