cheddar stuffed burgers

We needed an easy meal tonight. This is about as easy as it gets. We have a griddle, so cooking it much faster. You can also do these on the grill or on your stove top.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey or ground beef
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
hamburger buns

In a bowl, combine the ground turkey/beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. I've found the best way to get that done is to just use your hands. Divide mixture into 4-5 parts and roll each into a ball. Use your thumb to put a large hole in the centers and fill with about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Mold the ground turkey/beef around the cheese to create the patty. If you are using a griddle or stove top, heat the oil over medium heat (or 275F on griddle). If using a grill, brush the patties with the oil before tossing them on the grill. The oil helps bring out the flavor. Cook until there is no pink left.. unless you like raw, bloody meat. Then by all means, cook to your standards. :) Add whatever condiments you like and have at it! As you can see from my picture, I had not added condiments yet. Also, the cheese had started to ooze out while cooking. Delicious!
