Directions

Shape the meat into 12 thin patties, pressing them just enough to make the meat cling together. Cut the cheese into slivers and arrange on half the patties, leaving space to seal the edges. Place the remaining patties over the cheese and press the edges firmly to seal. Grill 4 to 5-inches above hot coals until browned on both sides, turning as needed to cook evenly. Cook until done as desired, about 10 minutes total cooking time for rare., 12 to 15 minutes for medium, and 15 to 18 minutes for well done. Serve hot on toasted buns with catsup, mustard, pickle relish, or other condiments.
