Truffle Burger

- Add sliced Velveeta cheese to the top of each burger as soon as you flip them to allow time for cheese to melt

- Place burgers onto buns and serve
Notes
Truffle aioli can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
Ground chuck can replace wagyu if you have that on hand.
Cook burgers until desired doneness. I prefer medium for my burgers. Use a digital meat thermometer to check temperature and remove burgers at 130°F for medium.
Velveeta cheese packs a lot of salt so keep that in mind when you're determining the size slice of cheese.
Put a lid over the top of the pan to melt cheese more quickly.
Eat burgers as soon as they're ready for best quality.
