Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork until evenly mixed.
Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture and mix well to incorporate the seasonings thoroughly.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, roughly forming ball shapes.
Flatten each ball into a thin patty using your palms or a burger press.
Place about 1 tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
Cover each cheese-topped patty with one of the remaining 4 patties, sealing the edges by pressing them together firmly to ensure the cheese stays enclosed.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the stuffed patties into the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they register at least 160°F internally to ensure the meat is fully cooked.
Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite low-carb sides like a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
