- 1/4 cup Grolsch beer or similar
- 2 slices (about 2 oz.) extra sharp cheddar cheese (we used Hoffman’s)

How to make it
-
Burgers
- Put water in medium skillet and heat over medium.
- Season beef with Lawry’s and black pepper. Separate into 4 equal portions and roll into balls. Flatten to between 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick. Fold cheese slices so stacked 2×2 inches. Place in center of one patty, top with another patty and gently press edges and if needed push edges back up to retain patty shape. Repeat.
- Place patties in skillet. Cover and cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, until water evaporates. When turning patties be careful not to press down or squeeze. Add beer after water has evaporated, cover and continue to cook 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
- Note that some cheese will leak out and it’s best not to over handle to meat as it compromises the juiciness.
- Serve with recommended fixings or your favorites.
