This recipe is based on one found in Better Homes and Gardens’ New Junior Cookbook (1989 by Meredith Corp, Des Moines, IA). The original recipe calls for ground turkey which is something I seldom have on-hand, but maybe you do.

Cut a 4 x 2 x 2” block of cheese (any kind will do, I would imagine) into 4” long rectangles (I used sharp cheddar this time, but string cheese – mozzarella – is great).

Cover each rectangle of cheese with a section of hamburger, molding into a small loaf. Put the loaves onto a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
