Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Roasted green chilies (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for buns)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- optional Condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well incorporated but avoid overworking the meat.
In a separate small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped roasted green chilies together.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty about 4 inches wide.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese-green chili mixture onto the center of 4 of the patties. Leave a small border around the edges.
Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the cheese-covered patties. Carefully press and seal the edges to encase the filling completely.
Cook the stuffed burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the burgers are cooking, butter the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by layering lettuce, a cooked stuffed burger patty, tomato slices, and your favorite condiments on the bottom bun. Top with the bun lid.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheese Green Chilies Stuffed Burgers!
