Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Stuff with Cheese
Place 2 ounces of pepperjack cheese in the center of each patty, fold the edges over the cheese, and reshape into a patty to seal the cheese inside.
