4 hamburger buns, split

1.Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well.

Form 8, thin patties from the beef. Each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.


2.Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 equal pieces; stack the pieces.

Sandwich one stack of cheese between 2 ground beef patties.

Tightly pinch edges together tightly seal the cheese within the meat.

Repeat with the remaining cheese and patties.


3.Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat.

Cook burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes. It is common for burgers to puff up due to steam from the melting cheese.

Turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow steam to escape; cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside; about 4 minutes.

Serve on hamburger buns.
