Ingredients
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese1 pound 90%-lean ground beef1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1 1/2 teaspoons paprika1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions
1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.
3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they’ll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

    In my house, we call these Juicy-Lucy's, and we get creative with them by adding ingredients such as mushroom, onion and Swiss for a mush & Swiss style, or jalapeno , pepper jack and taco seasoning for a Mexican style. The possibilities are endless! - 12/31/10

    Well, I have never been one to follow a recipe to the exact and thhis one I tweaked with the seasoning and cheese choices. Still, the idea was great and my family LOVED these burgers. They thought the cheese in the inside was great. - 9/28/09
