Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds ground chuck
Coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
3 ounces thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, optional
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb leaves, such as oregano or basil (optional)
12 grape tomatoes, halved (optional)
Bacon-Onion Filling (optional)
Cheddar-Mushroom Filling (optional)
Vegetable oil, for brushing
6 hamburger buns, such as sesame

Steps:

  • Using your hands, combine beef, 3 teaspoons salt, and the pepper in a bowl. Shape into 6 balls. Scoop a heaping tablespoon from center of each; reserve.
  • Fill each burger with 1/2 ounce mozzarella, 1/2 teaspoon herbs, and 4 tomato halves; season with salt.
  • Press the reserved meat over filling, pinching to seal. Gently flatten into patties (about 5 inches in diameter). Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with oil. Grill, flipping once, about 4 minutes per side for rare or 10 minutes per side for well-done. Toast buns, if desired. Serve burgers on buns.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly.

The stuffed beef burgers were a bit dry. I think I should have added more moisture to the meat mixture. But the flavor was still good.

OMG! These burgers were amazing! I'm not usually a fan of stuffed burgers, but these were so good. The beef was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

The stuffed beef burgers were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar, but I think a mozzarella or Swiss cheese would be better.

These stuffed beef burgers were a hit with my family! They were so juicy and flavorful. I loved the combination of the beef, cheese, and bacon. I will definitely be making these again.
