A delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a cheesy surprise in the center.
Combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Use a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking when shaping the patties.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on four of the patties, then top with the remaining patties, sealing the edges well.
Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Avoid pressing down on the burgers while grilling to retain their juices.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning.
Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Serve with a side of fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
