Juicy Stuffed Burger Patties

 

Stuffed burger patties are a delicious way to elevate your burger game! You can stuff them with cheese, bacon, mushrooms, jalapeños, or even mac and cheese for an over-the-top bite. Here’s a basic yet juicy stuffed burger recipe to get you started:

Juicy Cheese-Stuffed Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 oz cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra juiciness)

Instructions:

1. Season the Meat – In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Form Patties – Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Flatten two portions into thin patties.
3. Add the Filling – Place a generous amount of cheese in the center of one patty. If you like, add extras like cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños.
4. Seal the Burger – Place another patty on top and pinch the edges together tightly to seal. Press the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t leak.
5. Cook the Burger – Heat a grill or pan to medium-high heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring the inside is fully cooked (especially if using raw ingredients like bacon).
6. Rest and Serve – Let the burgers rest for 2-3 minutes, then serve on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings!
