Preparation

In large bowl combine beef, herbs, salt and pepper; mix well.

Shape into 8 thin patties. Fold each Canadian Mozzarella cheese half into quarters; place in middle of 4 of the patties. Top with remaining 4 patties and pinch edges of meat to seal in cheese. Barbecue or broil until cooked about 15 minutes.

Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce and taco sauce, if desired.

Tips

*For a zesty Blue Cheese burger, substitute 2-1/2 oz (80 g) Canadian Blue Ermite cheese, crumbled, for Canadian Mozzarella. Divide cheese evenly among 4 meat patties and proceed as above.
