In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Shape into balls and freeze for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Divide beef into 6 portions, flatten each and place a cheese ball in the center, covering it with a second patty. Seal edges.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In an oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear each beef cake for 2-3 minutes per side.

Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let rest for several minutes before slicing.

Brush tops with BBQ sauce or ketchup glaze before serving.
