Ingredients

  • ½ lb ground beef
  • ¼ cup kashkaval or sharp cheddar, shredded
  • ¼ medium, finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 links kobasica or smoked sausage
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide beef into 4 small portions. Flatten 2 portions into thin patties, add cheese and diced onion to center of each, then top with remaining 2 patties and seal edges tightly.

  2. 2

    Slice kobasica into thin rounds. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook sausage slices until edges crisp, 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, sear stuffed patties 4 minutes per side without moving. Cheese will melt inside; center should stay pink.

  5. 5

    Top each patty with sausage slices and serve immediately while patties are still steaming.
