🛒 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

  • 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

  • Blue Cheese & Caramelized Onion
