A savory ground meat mixture is the secret to these scrumptious burgers. Stuffed with your favorite cheese? They’re heavenly!
1-3/4
pounds lean ground beef
1/3
cup finely chopped red onion
1/3
cup finely chopped crimini mushrooms (sometimes called baby bellas)
1/4
cup chopped parsley
1/4
cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1
tablespoon minced garlic
2
tablespoons soy sauce
1/2
teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/4
teaspoon salt
6
tablespoons crumbled or torn Cheddar, fontina, pepper jack, blue cheese, or your favorite cheese
6
crusty buns
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, mushrooms, parsley, bread crumbs and garlic. Sprinkle with soy sauce, pepper and salt. To mix, cut into the meat with the edge of a large spoon or spatula until ingredients are just mixed. Do not over mix.
Divide meat mixture into six equal portions. One portion at a time, flatten meat in the palm of your hand, making a patty that’s about 4-1/2 inches across.
Cup your hand so that you can press into the meat to make generous indentation. Try to keep the meat the same thickness throughout when doing this.
Place 1 tablespoon cheese in the indentation. Fold meat over cheese and press edges gently but securely to seal each burger well. Flatten burger a bit. Continue with remaining meat.
To grill: Preheat grill to medium, about 375ºF. Cook burgers 4 - 6 minutes per side with cover closed.
To pan fry: Cook burgers over medium heat 4 – 6 minutes per side.

NOTES:
To freeze stuffed burgers, wrap each burger in plastic wrap, then place in freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator about 8 hours before cooking.
