These simply seasoned burgers are made with lean ground beef and Mozzarella cheese, along with garlic powder and Italian seasonings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 heaping teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine ground beef with seasonings; form into 8 patties, each about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Place cheese slices in the center of 4 of the patties; cover the cheese with remaining patties and press edges together.

  3. Broil or grill over medium-hot coals, turning once until done.

Glass Bakeware Warning

Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
