Cream Cheese Hamburger

So, this is the verbal recipe i got from my neighbor Paul. You're gonna have to eyeball it bc i didnt get measurements, but we've all made hamburgers before, right? Here goes:

Ground Beef (he said to get the not-so-lean kind bc otherwise, they crumble too easily)
Block of cream cheese (dont get the kind in the tub)
Cilantro
Worschester Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix the ground beef, salt, pepper, desired amount of cilantro and worschester sauce together in a bowl. divide into desired sizes for patties. Take one of those patties and tear it in half, and pat down to a patty shape. take about a 1" cube of cream cheese and mold it into a ball and place it atop the 1/2 patty. Take the rest of that patty and put it atop the cream cheese and mold it around until the cream cheese is surrounded by ground beef. don't flatten the patty. it should be in a ball shape.

put it on the grill, foreman, or frying pan. as it cooks, press down on it with a spatula as the cheese melts to make it a flatter patty shape. be careful tho as it will begin to try to break apart. Cook to desired doneness.

Place on bun, top with sliced avacado and bacon. Enjoy!!

for the corn on the cob, wrap ears in tin foil, top each with a pat of cream cheese sprinkled with cilantro. put in the oven on broil for about 15 minutes or until done. YUMMO!

Thanks Paul!!
