INSIDE-OUT CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, mix beef, chile pepper powder, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 patties, 1/2 inch thick. In center of each of 4 patties, place 2 tablespoons cheese. Top with remaining patties; press edges to seal.
• Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 13 to 15 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in center of patties (inserted in meat, not cheese) reads 160°F. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce and tomato.

INSIDE OUT BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Arrange the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Slowly crisp up the bacon, cooking for 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Remove the bacon from the skillet, and, when cool, chop.
• Add the EVOO to the remaining drippings and set aside.
• Place the lean ground beef in a large mixing bowl, season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and mix in the mustard powder.
• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger, making a well in the center.
• Fill the well of each with one quarter of the crisp bacon pieces and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Carefully form the burger around the cheese and bacon filling, making sure the filling is completely covered.
• Return the skillet you cooked the bacon in to medium-high heat.
• Add the burger patties to the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes longer, turning occasionally. Do not press down on the burgers as they cook.
• Serve each burger on a bed of lettuce topped with sliced tomato and chopped pickles.

INSIDE-OUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, using a fork, mash together the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the parsley. Divide the mixture into 4 disks about 1 1/2 inches across. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper and mix well. Form into 4 equally sized patties about 3/4 inch thick.
• Form a deep cavity in the center of each beef patty. Place a cheese disk in each cavity and pull the meat together to completely cover the cheese.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook, about 4 minutes on each side for medium. Serve on the buns with the lettuce, onion and condiments.
