Smoked Cheddar Stuffed Aberdeen Angus Beef Burgers with Caramelized Red Onions

Smoked Cheddar Stuffed Aberdeen Angus Beef Burgers with Caramelized Red Onions

Published on April 4, 2016 • Last updated September 7, 2020 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Schwartz.

Smoked Cheddar Stuffed Aberdeen Angus Beef Burgers with Caramelized Red Onions

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.

This recipe was commissioned by Schwartz spices for an ebook compilation of bloggers’ flavour favourites. There are 20 absolutely mouthwatering recipes in this collection, and the ebook is free to download over on the Schwartz website! You can also find more recipe inspiration on Schwartz Facebook and Twitter accounts. Alternatively, check out my tips for making the perfect beef burger on the Learning with Experts website. 

One thing to note – the woman’s photograph shown next to my name and recipe – that’s not me. I have no idea who that is!

    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!

      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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
