Ingredients
For burger patties:
- 1 lb ground beef

- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon chili powder

Toppings

Instructions
Making the patties:
-
Add beef, seasonings, onion, and egg in a medium bowl. Combine thoroughly.
-
Use about ¼ cup of meat, and form into a small patty. Press a small indentation into the center of the patty.
-
Fold a slice of cheese in half, then in half again. Press cheese into center of the patty, then add a bit more meat mixture over the top and press to seal. Continue by forming a round burger patty. Repeat for the remaining burgers.
