How to Make Inside Out Cheeseburgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, and Worcestershire sauce. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 12 equal-sized patties (about 1/3 cup each).
  3. Set the patties aside.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray.
  5. Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 10-12 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  6. Top 6 of the patties with a slice of cheese, a spoonful of caramelized onions, and a spoonful of relish.
  7. Top each of those patties with one of the remaining 6 patties, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  8. Preheat your grill or leave the skillet on medium heat. Cook the inside-out burgers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the patties are cooked through and no longer pink inside. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the patties and desired level of doneness.
  9. Serve immediately on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
