Cuisinart says, "The Cuisinart® Griddler® makes “multi-functional” an understatement! With five separate cooking options, it can handle everything from pancakes to sausages to grilled cheese to steaks, hamburgers and panini. A floating cover and one set of reversible plates that snap in and out turn the Griddler® into a Contact Grill, a Panini Press, a Full Grill, a Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half Griddle. Dual temperature controls ensure everything is perfectly cooked!"

I like to grill food, but often - since I live in Michigan, this means grilling inside - which means I typically use the broiler in my oven. But, especially if I'm just cooking for my husband and I, I'd rather not use the broiler. The Griddler is perfect when cooking for a few - or for a lot since it can fold open to use as a full grill, too! I thought I'd share my favorite grill recipe for burgers . . . 

• ground meat - my family prefers beef, but I think this would work with pretty much any ground meat
• shredded cheddar, or small slices of sharp cheddar (my favorite)
• chopped onions
• chopped olives
• salt
• pepper
• garlic

Mix the cheese with the ground meat then, add onion, olives to the middle of your burger. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic; grill and enjoy!
