The Best Burger Recipe – Mozzarella Burgers

May 20, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 17 Comments

I don’t like hamburgers. Kind of a weird way to start a burger recipe post right? Un-American? Maybe. But, it’s true. I am not one to order a hamburger at a restaurant or even choose one at a BBQ if there are other options.  Hamburgers were almost non-existent on our home menu until I found this recipe. For real, it is the best burger I have ever had. Even my husband agrees that it is a summertime menu staple. The key is, it’s not just a patty. It has a secret. Well, three secrets really, that make it a taste explosion rather than a pathetic plain patty.

Wanna see why this burger recipe is so special? The cheese is in the patty! That’s right, no need to slap a slice on at the end this baby comes with yummy cheese in every single bite! The secret is in the sauce…and the cheese…and the bread crumbs? See for yourself…

These burgers come out juicy and delicious instead of dry and bland. You must try them, you just must. I found the original Mozzarella Beef Burger recipe from Kraft and altered it to our taste. 

The Best Burger Recipe 

INGREDIENTS:
 
1
lb.  ground beef*
1/2
cup  Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2
cup  Italian crumbs
1/4
cup  Barbecue Sauce (divided)
4
 hamburger buns
Optional:
green leaf lettuce
tomato
fry sauce (a Utah specialty, in simple terms ketchup and mayo mixed)

 

PREHEAT grill to medium-high heat. Mix meat, cheese, bread crumbs and 2 Tbsp. of the barbecue sauce. Shape into four patties. Refrigerate if you have time to help the patties hold together better.

PLACE patties on grill; cover grill with lid. Grill 4 to 6 min. on each side or until burgers are cooked through (160°F), brushing with remaining 2 Tbsp. barbecue sauce during last 2 min. of grilling time.
PLACE burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and fry sauce, if desired.


*We have also used ground turkey and it works just great!

Another great tip for burger barbecuing is take the raw patties out on a plate covered with wax paper. It makes it easy to flip the four patties right on to the grill. Then, just discard the wax paper and you have a clean plate to put the cooked burgers on. You save yourself on dishes and there’s no running back and forth to the kitchen.

    Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and
    i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so
    how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so
    any help is very much appreciated.

      I just switched to wordpress and have been getting a ton of spam comments. My husband recommended installing the Askimet (spellin?) plug-in.

      I have use turkey before. You just may want to refridgerate the patties for a bit before cooking because with turkey there is less fat content to help them stay together on the grill.

    So I made burgers tonight, the flavor was delicious I added salt, pepper, garlic powder and onions to the meat. I put patties in fridge about 10mns. The texure came out a lil soggy in the middle, not the consistency of a burger. The inside was done, what did I do wrong? Should I have added an egg??? A lil disappointed ?

      The consistency is a little different because of all the additions, a little like a moist meatloaf. With the moisture of the onions it may have been even a little softer. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping them together on the grill. I’m sorry you were disappointed.

    I don’t own a gril. Would it be okay to put them in an oven to cook, and if so at what temp.? Or…

    Do you think cooking them in a skillet on top of my stove would better?

      I would recommend a skillet or griddle over an oven.
