Ultimate Cheese Burger
Ingredients
- 4 potato buns
- 3/4 lb ground beef
- 1/4 lb ground pork (if you can get ground bacon, get that)
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions
Patties
- Combine meat and seasonings in mixing bowl.

- For each part, roll into a ball and create a cavity in the center. In the cavity, stuff 1/4 of the cheddar cheese, then pinch closed to form a patty slightly larger than the buns.
Cooking

- 2 at a time, drop patties into cast iron. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 3–5 minutes per side.
- Serve on toasted potato buns with spicy garlic aioli, onion jam, and ketchup.
