grilled inside out cheeseburgers

How about the ooey-gooey cheese-ness of your favorite burger coming from INSIDE the burger?!?

Yes, please!

And for those watching calories…serve it on a Sandwich Thin…I liked it better than the bulky buns!!!

(And one more thing I like about the Sandwich Thins…they freeze really well. That, and they are just 100 calories per thin!)

Grilled Inside Out Cheeseburgers

A little twist for your next burger night!
Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time15 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1.4 lb. ground chuck
  • 1 Tbsp steak seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices cheese
  • 4 buns
  • Lettuce, ketchup and mustard
  • Fresh fruit

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Form into 4 balls, then divide each ball in half. Form the "bottom" patty.
  • Place the cheese in the middle and place the other half of the patty on top. Pinch the edges together, unless you want cheese oozing all over your grill! Sprinkle with a little more of that steak seasoning.
  • Grill until meat has cooked through, or the cheese is oozing all over your grill!!!
  • Serve on sandwich thins or hamburger buns with favorite hamburger fixin’s…in our case, Romaine lettuce, some ketchup and mustard.
  • Enjoy the Grilled Inside Out Burgers with favorite fresh fruit.

    I love Sandwich Thins…they are the best!! We sometimes have what we call “Hamburger Salad” which is basically a hamburger pattie (these would be awesome!) with the toppings served on a bed of lettuce. Nary a bun in sight 🙂

    If you ever have Feta (I know its pricey) its a great cheese to combine with the meat/seasonings because it’s very tasty but not quite as messy.

    I use Lauging Cow cheese wedges in my burgers…they are so good on the sandwich things with spinach,onion and tomato! Yummy!

    My mom made something like this. She would either put cheddar cheese in the middle or a large slice of red onion.

    I believe what you’re trying to say is “Jucy Lucy“.

    I can’t figure out where these cheap prices are coming from. I shop w/ coupons and sales and still come out more expensive. Where is it that you all live? Great meal ideas though. I have and used them….thanks.

    Great idea to use the sandwich thins. We like to put a dab of blue cheese inside our burgers. I don’t bother making two separate patties though, just make a thicker patty, poke a hole in the middle and put some blue cheese crumbles in, then cover the hole and flatten them out a bit. Mmmm.

    Thanks for the great recipe! I’m so glad you shared the Sandwich Thin idea. I’m always looking for ways to eat healthier without skimping on flavor. I also love that you can freeze it because that’s how we make our bread last longer!
