Cheese-Stuffed Pesto Burger

Course: Entree
Servings: 4
Author: Jenn

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef I used 85% lean sirloin
  • 3-4 Tbsp. pesto homemade or store bought
  • salt and pepper
  • monterey jack cheese can use other kinds too! This is what I had on hand

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Cut cheese into 4 equal chunks and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the ground beef, pesto and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Be sure not to over-mix.
  • Shape the beef into 8 thin patties. Take a piece of cheese and sandwich it between two thin patties and then seal the edges to make one patty, making sure the cheese is completely hidden inside the patty. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheese, until you have four cheese-filled patties.
  • Grill burgers on pre-heated grill until cooked through. Serve on buns and enjoy!
