I made this Stuffed burger with the burger pocket press and it was great! Look up burgerpocketpress.com it's a handy tool to make stuffed burgers.

when I grilled these, the cheese just kinda evaporated out of em. They weren't all cheesy like I thought they'd be. They were okay.

the cheese didn't add much flavor for me.

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.
