Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground beef 2 tbsp (30 g) butter 1 cup (30 g) lettuce 4 oz (115 g) cheddar cheese 1 lemon
Instructions
1. Divide ground beef into equal portions and flatten each into thin rounds; place a cube or spoonful of cheddar on one round and cover with another, sealing edges to form a stuffed patty. 2. Heat a skillet with butter until melted and sizzling; add patties and cook 4–6 minutes per side (or until cooked through) to form a brown crust and melt the cheese inside. 3. Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate, place the hot stuffed patties on the leaves, and squeeze lemon over each before serving.
