Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground Beef; 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce ( or Worcestershire sauce (don't be afraid of the fish sauce, it's awesome!)); 2 cloves Garlic (, minced); fresh cracked Black Pepper (, to taste); 1 teaspoon Sugar; 1/2 lb. grated Aged or Regular Cheddar Cheese or cheese of your choice ((traditionally it's made with American cheese)); 6-8 Hamburger Buns; condiments of choice

Bowl

Combine the ground beef, fish sauce (or Worcestershire sauce), garlic, pepper, and sugar in a bowl. Mix together well.

Roll the beef into 6-8 balls. Split each beef ball in half and flatten out to your preferred patty size. Place about 2-3 tablespoons cheese in the center of one patty, then top with the other patty and seal the edges by pinching and smoothing with your fingers.

Gently press flat, double checking there are no opening for the cheese to escape when the burgers cook.

Cook on a grill or skillet over medium high heat (usually about 3 minutes per side). Toast the buns and serve with your desired condiments.
