Steps:
- Preheat grill on high heat.
- Lay out ground chuck in a single layer and season well with salt and pepper. Divide chuck into four portions.
- Wrap each piece of Manchego in a 4-inch square piece of ham. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add each ham-and-cheese bundle and fry, turning, until ham is crisped and cheese is beginning to melt. Allow to cool slightly, fold meat around each bundle to form hamburgers about 1 inch thick.
- Grill burgers for about 4 to 5 minutes a side or until just cooked through.
SPANISH BURGERS WITH ROMESCO AND MANCHEGO CHEESE
These are Spanish-inspired burgers. Romesco, a roasted red pepper pesto, goes perfectly with the beef, and sharp Manchego cheese may just usurp Cheddar as the ultimate cheeseburger topping. You can prepare the Romesco up to two weeks ahead. Add sliced tomatoes and lettuce if you wish, but frankly, less is more here to better appreciate the flavors. I saw this recipe being prepared on a local news station. It was prepared by Rick Rodgers, an author of more than 25 cookbooks.

Steps:
- Build a fire for banked grilling in an outdoor grill.
- For a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash. Spread out the mound of coals into a bank, with one side about two coals deep, and the other side of the slope with a scattering of single coals.
- For a gas grill, preheat the grill on High.
- Leave one side on High and turn the other side to Low.
- In both cases, you will have two areas for cooking, one hot and the other cooler.
- To make the romesco, with the machine running, drop the garlic through the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade to finely chop it.
- Add the almonds, red peppers, vinegar, paprika, and oregano.
- With the machine running, gradually add the oil, then season with the salt and pepper.
- Transfer the sauce to a bowl. (The romesco can be made up to 2 weeks ahead, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.).
- Working as gently and quickly as possible (overmixing compacts the meat and makes tough burgers), mix the ground round, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly form into 4 patties about 4 inches wide.
- Make an indentation, about 2 inches wide and ½ inch deep, in the center of each burger to help it keep its shape during grilling.
- Lightly oil the cooking grate.
- Place the burgers on the hot area of the grill.
- Cover and cook, turning once, until the outside is seared with grill marks, about 2 minutes per side.
- Move the hamburgers to cooler side of the grill and cover.
- Cook, turning once, until the hamburgers feel somewhat firm but not resistant when pressed in the center, about 4 minutes for medium-rare.
- If using a meat thermometer, insert it horizontally through the side of the burger to reach the center --it should read 125°F.
- During the last 2 minutes, top each burger with the cheese, and place the buns on the grill to toast lightly and warm through.
- Place a burger in each bun, top with a large dollop of romesco sauce, and serve immediately.

CLASSIC BEEF BURGERS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
No matter what the story is behind this burger, first or not, it is sheer perfection on a bun. This recipe is loosely based on the original hamburger that was invented and still served at Louis' Lunch in Connecticut. One visit to the quaint little corner burger joint and you will see first hand how this burger phenomenon has captivated the regulars. The recipe, which has not changed since its invention in 1900, uses 5 different combinations of ground chuck and can only be topped with cheese, onion and tomato. In fact Louis' Lunch refuses to serve ketchup or mustard saying it would corrupt the taste. This recipe yields a similar moist burger by combining chuck and grilled sirloin and uses a version of the restaurant's cheddar cheese sauce spiked with lager. Surprisingly, the burger really does not need ketchup or other condiments; it definitely holds its own. The recipe was adapted from Steven Raichlen. Beer Recommendation: Samuel Adams Boston Lager was suggested to me for the cheese sauce and to drink with this recipe. There was a strong, but not overpowering, beer taste to the cheese sauce that I enjoyed.

Steps:
- Mix cheese and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Rub garlic all over the inside of a medium saucepan, add the clove and lager to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add handfuls of cheese to the saucepan, stirring in between handfuls, until melted, and bring to a boil. Add mustard, salt and pepper and simmer over moderate heat until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes; keep warm over very low heat.
- Lightly knead the sirloin and the chuck together in a bowl. Form 4 large equal patties about 3/4" thick. Season the burgers generously with salt and pepper and put on a saran wrap covered plate. Brush the insides of the buns with the melted butter.
- Light your grill and oil the grate once it is heated. Grill the burgers for about 10 minutes, turning once, for medium. Remove the burgers from the heat source and lightly grill insides of the buns until just toasted.
- Place a lettuce leaf and tomato slice on the bottom of each bun. Top each with a burger and a generous helpings of cheese sauce. Cover with bun and serve, passing the remaining cheese sauce to serve on the side.

ZEE'S SPANISH STYLE BURGER WITH CHEESES
This is a tasty burger to add to your grill this Fourth Of July. The Salsa makes them so moist and the two cheese just make them pop. They make the potato salad and baked beans so good. I hope you will take the time to try them.
