A Minnesota-style beef burger hides cheddar inside the patty, so the cheese melts into the center instead of sitting on top.

Divide the ground beef into 8 thin meatball discs.
Prepare cheddar cheese into 4 equal small piles.
Put the cheese in the middle of 4 disks and cover it with the other disks.
Press the edges of the meatballs tightly and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the cast iron pan over high heat and cook the meatballs for 4 minutes on each side.
While the meatballs rest for 3 minutes, fry the bread with butter.
Put lettuce, cheese-stuffed meatballs, onions and pickles on the bread and serve.
💡 Tip: Sealing the edges of the meatballs very well prevents the melted cheese from flowing into the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with gherkins, onion rings and crispy potatoes.
