INSIDE-OUT CHEESEBURGER

I went out to lunch today and had a cheeseburger. While it was good, it certainly doesn't compare to this wonderful recipe for Inside-Out Cheeseburgers!!

INSIDE-OUT CHEESEBURGERS



Ingredients
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.

2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.

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

4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.


Serve with lettuce, tomato, onions, or whatever garnishments you like! Enjoy!

'TIS THE SEASON - TO EAT!!

Even though Thanksgiving has come and gone, I want to share a recipe that has been in my family for generations. We have it every holiday - so Christmas is not too late! We enjoy it other times of the year, as well.

This recipe is for good old fashioned Southern Corn Pudding. My family is from Mississippi and this recipe is from the deep south. It is actually named for the cook that was my grandparent's cook for years and years. To me, she was just part of the family! There is probably no other recipe for corn pudding like it so even if you have tried other recipes for corn pudding, don't miss out on this one! I have never had anyone who has tried it not absolutely love it!


Annie's Corn Pudding

1/2 stick butter
2 Eggs
1 can Creamed corn
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking power
1/2 cup Milk

Melt butter in baking dish.

Beat eggs. Add cream corn, sugar, baking powder, and milk. Mix real good. Add melted butter. Mix good again.

Pour back into baking dish. Cook about 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

6 servings

** I have tried cooking this in the microwave for about 10 minutes and it works great.
