For years I've stuffed things in the middle of burgers. Mostly prosessed American cheese. You know, the stuff that comes individually wrapped. I tried herbed butter as per Raichlen's How To Grill book and then I came across this. I walked past the TV and thought I heard the host say she was filling hamburger patties with goat cheese. I made a mental note to try it. Turns out she was making something entirly different but these are still a winner.
Roll up your sleeves and gently mix ground beef, (not turkey, not chicken, not salmon - BEEF) a splash of Worcestershire Sauce, salt and pepper to taist and diced onions. Form into 12 thin patties a little bigger than the buns you will be using. place a thin slice or two of goat cheese on half of these. These are the bottoms. Place the remaining patties on top and pinch edges together to form a total of 6 patties.
You want to cook over a medium heat. Place patties on the grill and cover. Cook to desired doneness. That would be pust this side of medium. Figure about 5 minutes per side. You will be flipping only once and you will not be flattening the burger with the spatula.
Let them sit a couple minutes before serving. Serve on soft buns with lettace, mustard, tomotoes and sliced onions.
