Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly but do not overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 equal-sized portions and form them into thin patties.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese onto the center of 4 patties, leaving a small border around the edges for sealing.
Cover each ham-and-cheese-topped patty with another plain patty. Gently press the edges together to seal and form a stuffed burger patty.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Cook the stuffed burger patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a golden-brown crust. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice.
Place the cooked stuffed burger patty on top of the tomato, then close the burger with the top half of the bun.
Serve the ham and cheese stuffed burgers immediately, optionally with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
