This is the classic burger that started it all…but with a slight innovation! In our All-American Stuffed Burger, the dill and onion are inside the burger as well as riding on top. Those interested in following the Matt’s Bar formula should remember to use a single slice of American cheese and lots of salt and pepper while grilling. The more 5-8 Club-inclined should add more cheese and go easy on the seasoning.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs. of ground beef
• 1 tbsp. ketchup
• 1 tbsp. mustard
• 8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/4 C. white onion, chopped
• 1/4 C. dill pickle, chopped
• 4 hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. Combine ground beef, mustard and ketchup in a mixing bowl, using hands to mix thoroughly.
2. To form the burgers, place 1/2 pound of the ground beef mixture into the bottom of the burger press.
3. Push the long end of the press into the meat to form a well.
4. Stuff the burger with 2 oz. of cheddar cheese and 1 tsp. each of the chopped white onion and dill pickle.
5. Place 1/4 lb. of ground beef mixture on top of the stuffing, and use the press to seal.
6. Repeat process for other three burgers.
7. Cook over direct heat until thoroughly cooked.
8. Serve burger on bun garnished with more sliced onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup.

Yield: 4 Stuffed Burgers
