These juicy stuffed burger patties are packed with flavor and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. The secret lies in the flavorful stuffing that oozes out with every bite.
Ingredients:
- For the Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Stuffing:
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
- Prepare the Stuffing: In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, jalapeños, and chives. Mix well.
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the patties tough.
- Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place about 1 tablespoon of the stuffing mixture in the center of each patty. Fold the edges of the patty over the stuffing, sealing it completely. Gently form each patty into a thick round shape.
- Cook the Patties:
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Pan-fry: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the juicy stuffed burger patties on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite sauce.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the ground beef in Worcestershire sauce and a little olive oil for 30 minutes before making the patties.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Experiment with different stuffing combinations. Try sautéed mushrooms and onions, caramelized onions and goat cheese, or roasted garlic and spinach.
