Ingredients

¼ cup shredded cheddar

¼ cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss

1 lb. lean ground beef (at least 90%)

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 ½ tsp. paprika

¼ tsp. pepper

4 whole grain buns

Directions

Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat; lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.

Combine cheeses in a small bowl.

Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4inch wide patties. Mound 2 Tbsp of cheese mixture on 4 patties, leaving a 1/2 –inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.

Grill patties for about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. Do NOT press the burgers as they cook or they will split open and the cheese will ooze out. Let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.
