Stuffed Burgers

By -

You may be surprised to see Allison is posting a burger recipe, but I am. A friend recently wanted to make this with us so we gave it a try and I think my meat-eater family would enjoy this.


Ingredients:

2 lbs of lean ground beef or turkey (we used turkey and I was very nervous about it, but got to tell you, it was good and I'm told it is healthier than ground beef)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

1/2 teaspoon Kosher or Hawaiian salt, divided

1 large onion, diced

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, swiss, or pepper jack) (we used swiss and it was very good)

4 ounces cream cheese, room temp

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Lettuce

Onion, thinly sliced

Beefsteak tomatoes

6 buns or bread rolls



Preheat barbecue grill to medium heat. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, pepper, salt, onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Form 12 patties about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside. (So our burgers were huge, so if I were to make them again, I would make sure the patties were smaller, and make sure they are thin because you are going to put 2 together to form one burger. I think you can make more than 6 burgers out of this recipe)



In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Stir in cheese and mustard.



Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on the middle of 6 meat patties. Place remaining meat patties on top and press edges together to seal in cheese mixture.



Place hamburgers on grill about 15 minutes per side, turn once. Remove from grill and place on buns. Top with lettuce, onions and tomatoes.


Serves 6.

So I wasn't the one to make these and our friend emailed me the recipe. I just noticed it says divide the pepper and salt, but I'm not sure why, so I think you'll have to guess on that part.

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
