Garlic Herb Cheeseburgers Recipes

MY MOST COVETED SECRET: HERB-GARLIC BUTTER HAMBURGERS ON A GRILL

Steps:

• Place all the herbs, garlic, pepper, and butter in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly fluffy.
• (you can do the mixing with a or food processor) Place a 12" square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center.
• Roll herb butter into cylinder shape within plastic, twisting the ends to compress the butter.
• Chill the butter in the refrigerator or freeze until firm.
• Butter will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
• Burger Preparation: Make hamburger patties as usual, but for each one place your thumb in the middle and press an indentation almost through (but not quite) to the other side of the meat.
• Unwrap formed butter and cut crosswise into 1/4-1/2" discs. (You will be using approximately 4 tablespoons Herb-Garlic Butter per 1 1/2 pound of ground meat).
• Form hamburger patty fully around one butter disc, pressing gently to seal the disc into the dead center of the meat.
• (not too much pressing! It will make your burgers dense and tough) Place burgers on hot grill (preheated to high if using a gas grill).
• Grill burgers until cooked to doneness, (about 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-done).
• Place burgers on a serving plate, add cheese, if desired, but do not serve for about 5 minutes, to allow flavors to fully meld.
• Brush buns with melted butter and toast on the grill for a few seconds.
• Serve with any toppings of your choice.

HERBED CHEESE-STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Divide the ground beef into eight equal portions and lightly form into balls. Flatten the meat into patties and press a divot into 4 of them - these will be the bottom of the burgers. Place 1 tablespoon of the herb cheese into each divot. Cover with a second patty, pressing to seal around the cheese to the edges and taking care there are no air pockets. Repeat to make 4 burgers total.
• 2. Heat a griddle or grill over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil. Evenly sprinkle the patties all over with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers, turning once, until well-browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the burger registers 145 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Put the burgers on the bottom buns, top with lettuce and tomato. Cover with the top buns and serve.

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the hamburger patties in the hot oil until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for well done.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Cover a flat surface with the flour. Divide the bread dough into 4 even pieces; roll each piece into a flattened rectangle on the floured surface at least twice the size of the American cheese slices. Place one slice of American cheese on each piece of dough; top each with one of the cooked patties and another slice of American cheese. Fold the dough over the top of the meat and cheese. Pinch the dough around the edges to seal completely. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side facing downward. Brush the tops with the melted butter; move to a warm area and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bread has browned, about 20 minutes.
