Inside-out cheddar burgers: 

Prep 25 min | Total 30 min

Ingredients:

  • 2 tomatoes, sliced into rounds

Preheat barbecue to medium. Divide beef into 16 portions. Flatten each into a very thin patty. Lay a square of cheese in the centre of 8 patties, then top with remaining patties. Pinch edges well to seal in the cheese. Season both sides of burgers with salt and fresh pepper.
