Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
Top each cheese-topped patty with one of the remaining plain patties. Gently press the edges together to seal the cheese inside, forming a stuffed burger patty.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the patties are cooked through.
Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to ensure the cheese cools slightly and stays intact.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for 1 minute, if desired.
Assemble the burgers on the buns with optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and mayonnaise.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy Italian-style burgers!
