Stuffed Grilled Burgers



Stuffed Grilled Burgers

Stuffed grilled burgers take backyard grilling to the next level—crispy on the outside, unbelievably juicy inside, with a molten, flavor-loaded center. Perfect for cookouts, game days, or whenever you want burgers that impress.


⭐ Why You’ll Love These Burgers

  • Ultra-juicy thanks to the sealed filling

  • Endless stuffing variations (cheese, bacon, mushrooms, jalapeños)

  • Restaurant-quality burgers made at home

  • No special equipment—just a grill and good technique


🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4 Large Burgers)

Burger Patties

  • 2 lb (900 g) ground beef (80/20 recommended)

  • 1½ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Classic Stuffing (Choose One or Mix)

  • 4 oz cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheese (cubed or shredded)

  • Optional add-ins:

    • Cooked bacon bits

    • Sautéed mushrooms & onions

    • Jalapeños or roasted green chiles

    • Blue cheese crumbles

For Grilling & Serving

  • Oil for grill grates

  • Burger buns, toasted

  • Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles

  • Condiments of choice


👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling

  • If using onions, mushrooms, or bacon, cook first and let cool completely.

  • Cold fillings seal better and reduce leaks.


2️⃣ Form the Stuffed Patties

  1. Divide beef into 8 equal balls.

  2. Flatten each into thin patties (about 4–5 inches wide).

  3. Place filling in the center of 4 patties, keeping it ½ inch from edges.

  4. Top with remaining patties and pinch edges firmly to seal.

  5. Gently shape into thick burgers—avoid compressing too tightly.


3️⃣ Season the Burgers

  • Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.

  • Season both sides generously after forming.


4️⃣ Grill to Perfection

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F / 190–205°C).

  2. Oil the grates well.

  3. Grill burgers 4–5 minutes per side, lid closed.

  4. Flip once only—pressing causes juice loss.

  5. Internal temp:

    • 160°F / 71°C for food-safe beef

    • Rest burgers 5 minutes before serving


🍽️ Serving Ideas

  • Classic American style with lettuce, tomato & special sauce

  • BBQ burger with crispy onions & smoky sauce

  • Tex-Mex burger with avocado, salsa & pepper jack

  • Serve with fries, onion rings, grilled corn, or coleslaw


🔥 Pro Tips for Leak-Free Stuffed Burgers

  • Use cold cheese, not warm

  • Seal edges like dumplings—tight is right

  • Avoid very thin patties

  • Grill over direct heat first, then move to indirect if burgers are extra thick


🧊 Make-Ahead & Storage

  • Make ahead: Stuff and shape patties up to 24 hours in advance

  • Freeze: Wrap individually, freeze up to 2 months

  • Cook from frozen: Grill over medium heat, adding extra time


🌟 Flavor Variations

  • Cheddar–Bacon Ranch

  • Blue Cheese & Caramelized Onion

  • Mozzarella, Basil & Sun-Dried Tomato

  • Jalapeño Popper Style

  1. Wew! 6 to 8 LARGE burgers should be enough for a whole family already! Peers who enjoy eating those can also benefit from the recipe. It would also be fun if everybody helps in preparing the burgers.
