Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 tbsp, chopped shallots
4 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit.
Finely chop the shallot and add to a mixing bowl with the ground beef, mustard, salt and pepper.
Using your hands, combine the ingredients together thoroughly.
Divide the mixture evenly into 8 portions, creating individual patties with your hands – about ½ inch thick.
Top 4 of the patties with a heaped tablespoon of grated cheese.
Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the cheese covered patties and gently pinch the sides together to seal the cheese within the burger.
Transfer to the oven to bake for 20-23 minutes turning halfway through, until browned all over and completely cooked through.
Serve with lettuce wraps and our low carb smoky slaw!
