To easily make stuffed cheeseburgers, place your cheese or stuffing between two patties and crimp them together for a good seal.

Whether you make your own thin patties or buy them pre-made, this technique ensures an even burger casing around the stuffing so you get a bit of both in every bite.

You want to use a thin patty because a 4-inch patty runs the risk of having a dry, charred, overdone outside and a raw inside with unmelted stuffing.

Besides cheese, try stuffing your burger with ingredients like spinach artichoke dip, mac and cheese, pulled pork, or mushroom paté if you want to skip the cheese entirely.
