Sam's ‘Cheesy Surprise' Sliders For Two
Bec and Joe's nephew Sam created a big batch version of this recipe for The 4 Blades podcast when he was 8 years old. This time, we have tweaked it to be a great alternative to the sneaky weekend cheeseburger meal for two. What's the surprise? The delicious cheesy centre of the burgers!

- Heat a frying pan or BBQ plate.
