Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs (750 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 cups (750 mL) sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 hamburger buns, split
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) pizza sauce, warmed

Steps

  •  
    1
    In large bowl, mix beef, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 patties, 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Press 1/4 cup of the cheese into a ball with hands; press flat into 3 1/2-inch-diameter patty. Repeat with remaining cheese. Place cheese patties on top of 4 beef patties; top with remaining beef patties. Pinch edges together to seal.

    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 11 to 13 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in centre of patties reads 160ºF. During last 2 minutes of cooking, place buns, cut sides down, on grill until toasted.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Variation: Try 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar and 1/2 cup mozzarella; or use 1 cup pizza cheese blend.
  • Tip 2
    Tip: The melted cheese inside the burgers can be hot, so it is good to give your guests a warning before they take a big bite.
