Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2; can be doubled

Ingredients

10 ounces ground sirloin or lean ground beef
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 large (4 1/2-inch-diameter) English muffins, split horizontally

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine meat, onion, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Divide meat mixture into 2 equal portions. Shape each into ball. Poke deep hole in each ball and fill each with half of cheese. Mold meat around cheese to enclose. Flatten each filled burger to 3/4-inch-thick patty.

    Step 2

    Grill burgers to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. Grill muffin halves until beginning to color, about 1 minute per side. Serve burgers in muffins.
