Take a regular old cheeseburger to the next level by padding the interior of your patty with a wedge of cheese. Oh, yes we did.

Ingredients

4 20-g rounds of Babybel cheese
1.5 kg medium ground beef
½ tsp salt
8 hamburger buns
2 tomatoes, sliced
2 dill pickles, sliced lengthwise

Instructions

Preheat barbecue to medium. Cut each cheese in half horizontally to make 8 rounds.
Divide beef into 16 portions. Flatten each into a very thin patty, about 4 in. wide. Lay 1 cheese round in the centre of each of 8 patties, then top with remaining patties. Pinch edges well to seal in the cheese, then pat down to flatten to 5 in. wide. Sprinkle both sides of burgers with salt and pepper.
Oil grill. Barbecue burgers, lid closed, until cooked through, 5 to 7 min per side. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and pickles.
