Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Salami slices
- 8 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red onion (diced)
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salami slices until they are crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and place two slices of fresh mozzarella on top of each patty. Cover the skillet to help melt the cheese and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tomato-basil relish. In a small bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, and diced red onion. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster oven.
To assemble the burgers, place a handful of arugula on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked burger patty with melted mozzarella, 2 slices of crispy salami, and a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil relish.
Drizzle a little balsamic glaze on top, then cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes!
