That’s a recipe title and a half, isn’t it!
I’m not going to lie. I actually think this is the best burger recipe I have ever, ever created. Ever. And I’ve made a lot of burgers in my time.
I believe a decent beef burger starts with a good quality beef mince – like Aberdeen Angus steak mince. The best you can afford. Lean, if possible.
And cheese.
A burger needs cheese.
You could put the cheese on the top after the burger has finished cooking, letting it slowly melt and ooze down the sides of the sizzling beef, but why not put it in the middle?
Lately, I’ve become quite fond of the Applewood brand of smoked cheddar. It’s deliciously mild and creamy and tastes absolutely wicked shoved inside an Aberdeen Angus beef burger so that when you take a bite it oozes out. Gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
A good burger, in my humble opinion, requires very little extra seasoning, but I do like to add a dash of paprika, a sprinkling of garlic, a touch of parsley and some black pepper.
This is where Schwartz herbs and spices come in handy.
I love spice so I always have a wide variety of herbs and spices on hand to season a dish. I even made a custom wooden spice rack (see my profile picture!) so that I can see at a glance what I’ve got instead of rummaging around in a drawer or cupboard.

Creamy Vanilla Protein Cheesecake – Steampunk Style!
Oh wow that does look amazing. I really, really love caramelised red onions and they look so delicious on this! And really fancy a burger this weekend.
Lovr a good burger. Will add some blue cheese on mine ☺
This sounds like it could possibly be the best burger in the world, it looks simply delicious! Definitely one I want to try!
I don’t know how this tastes but it certainly looks like the best burger you’ve ever created! When I’m home I’ll try to persuade my mum to buy some good quality beef so I can try this for myself!
These sound delicious! My husband loves to put cheese in his burgers so this would def be one for him!
This sounds delicious – some of my favourite tastes in one dish – yum! I will definitely try this. Kaz x
WOW! This is definitely my sort of recipe. Putting the cheese inside the burger is a stroke of genius, teaming it with the red onions too…. heaven! x
This sounds amazing! I love a decent burger and your description really made my mouth water! I love Schwartz herbs and spices. It’s the only ones I have on my spice rack.
This looks so yummy! I am a fan of burgers anyway, but with melted cheese and those onions…. I am drooling at the thought!
That looks mouthwatering delicious! I could just eat that now for lunch. Thanks for sharing.
I’m being a vegetarian myself, but I can see my husband would love this recipe as he likes his burgers. 🙂
Mookieslife
I am a vegetarian but I bet this would taste nice with a quorn burger too mmmm. You should do some veggie recipes in the future 🙂
I have full plans to go vegan for the month of August. You’ll get bombarded by veggie recipes then! But yes, my blog seems rather meat-centric just now!
Oh my, this is my kind of meal. Looks delicious.
Oh wow… 🙂
Oh this would be a really fun recipe to try. That smoked cheddar does sound really good .
This looks delicious! Great recipe! Xx
I must say that sounds and looks amazing. Bookmarking for when I get the ingredients in.
It looks amazing! I can never resist a good burger. In fact I wanted to make one for the ebook but was told someone else was already doing a burger! It’s lucky you got there first as this is absolutely mouthwatering!
I’ve been drooling over this on your social all day – I’ve also had my readers drooling after sharing it! It’s AMAZING! H x
i love the look of this although i would switch the smoked with just normal chedder xx
I saw this one Instagram I think it was and so caught my eye – it looks absolutely delicious! x
I love putting cheese in burgers, I love caramelized onions, and I really love Aberdeen Angus beef so this recipe just looks like heaven to me!
I love that your bun is upside down. Each layer of flavor shines through and looks so delicious.
Great burger recipe, I love making my own burgers as they have so much more taste than shop bought ones. Putting cheese inside sounds like the best idea ever x
What an awesome looking burger. I cannot wait for BBQ season….unfortunately we just got dumped on with lots of snow….which really sucks. I will print for later….hopefully not too much later cause it sounds so good.
Can I say yum anymore? This looks divine!
What a delicious sounding dish!!! Absolutely makes me want a burger, NOW! 🙂
Yum! Those caramelized red onions look almost better than the burger itself! Now that it’s warming up outside, I can’t wait to GRILL. These burgers would be perfect for a backyard BBQ!
When we ate meat, we always stuffed the cheese inside the burger rather than putting it on pot. It was a nice surprise when you bite in to it.
