Making Stuffed Burgers - Hamburger Step by Step

The best way to dress up your burgers is by stuffing the patties with flavor (and cheese). You can do this by adding to the ground meat and mixing it all together but you frequently end up with a patty that falls apart on the grill. The best method is to make stuffed burgers, patties stuffed with anything you want deep inside then grilled to perfection. All you need is a grill, some ground meat, and as much imagination as you can muster.

Making Hamburger Patties

There are a lot of ways to make a good hamburger patty. You can choose ground beef, pork, lamb, sausage, turkey, or more. You can stuff the patties full of garlic, cheese, spices, peppers, or virtually anything small enough to fit. You can mix into the ground meat, eggs, bread crumbs, cream, and everything but the kitchen sink. Regardless of what you put in (and simpler is usually better), you need to make the right patty.
