CAMPING & COOKOUTS
Make-ahead recipes
Prep 20 min. | Total 25 min. Makes: 8
4 20-g rounds of Babybel cheese
1.5 kg medium ground beef 1/2 tsp salt
8 hamburger buns 2 tomatoes, sliced
2 dill pickles, sliced lengthwise
1. Preheat barbecue to medium. Cut each cheese in half horizontally to make 8 rounds.
2. Divide beef into 16 portions. Flatten each into a very thin patty, about 4 inches wide. Lay 1 cheese round in the centre of each of 8 patties, then top with remaining patties. Pinch edges well to seal in the cheese, then pat down to flatten to 5 inches wide. Sprinkle both sides of burgers with salt and pepper.
3. Oil grill. Barbecue burgers, lid closed, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and pickles.
Camp prep tip: Freeze burgers and keep in cooler. Barbecue frozen burgers, lid closed, about 8 minutes per side.
