Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chuck
- 1/2 cup smoked beef, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Burger buns
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, diced smoked beef, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a ¾‑inch thick patty, making a small indentation in the center.
- Preheat the grill to medium‑high (375‑400°F). Grill the patties for 5‑7 minutes on the first side without pressing them.
- Flip the patties, grill another 5‑7 minutes, adding shredded cheddar during the final minute. Close the lid briefly to melt the cheese.
- Optional: Toast the buns cut side down on the grill for 30‑45 seconds.
