Aged-Cheddar-and-Swiss Cheeseburgers image

For these burgers, Martha loves Milton Creamery's Prairie Breeze cheddar and Challerhocker Swiss, both available at Murray's Cheese. Grate the horseradish and add it to the cheeses right before grilling; it quickly loses its potency once grated.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups coarsely grated aged cheddar (4 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated aged Swiss (5 ounces)
5 teaspoons freshly grated horseradish, or prepared horseradish to taste
3 pounds grass-fed ground beef chuck (85 percent lean)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Safflower oil, for brushing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
8 brioche buns, split
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 slices (1/4-inch-thick) large, ripe red tomato
16 slices crisp-cooked bacon (1 pound)
8 small lettuce leaves
Bread-and-butter pickle slices

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium. Combine both cheeses and horseradish. Gently form beef into 8 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Brush grates with oil; grill burgers 4 minutes. Flip; top each with just over 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Cover grill and cook, about 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove burgers from grill; let rest 5 minutes before assembling.
  • Combine mayonnaise and ketchup. Brush split sides of buns with butter; grill until lightly toasted. Season tomato with salt and pepper. Sandwich burgers in buns with mayonnaise mixture, tomato, bacon, lettuce, and pickles.
