I made this for my family for sunday dinner and it was a HIT, everyone loved the cheese in the hamburgers, in fact, I made each one with different cheeses, I made mine on the stove top and put it to low to cook the meat allt he way through since they were so BIG, I highly recommend this recipe.

My husband made these for dinner last night and they were excellent. He added some hickory flavered liquid smoke to the mixture which added to the flavor. All in all, a delicious burger.

I've made these for at least 40 years! Any kind of cheese is great. Try adding a slice of onion and slather with mustard. Super!

These are absolutley wonderful. A great change up from regular cheeseburgers. This one you got to try- made it with my kids it was fun and easy. And the burgers much more juicier.

Mmmm! Mmmm! These are so good! We stuffed them with blue cheese crumbles and they were tasty! 5 star from me!

Oh...this is good! I doubled the recipe (the in-laws were over), did not add the onion to the meat mixture (kept it on the side for those who wanted onions) and they tasted WOWEE! Moist, not tough, and very simple to put together. Highly recommend this recipe...it's a keeper in my books.
