Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 pieces sliced tomatoes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the beef mixture.
Roughly chop the spinach and fold it into the mixture.
Season with Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until evenly combined but avoid overworking the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the hamburger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or in the skillet if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the spinach hamburger patty, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Holiday Spinach Hamburgers!
