Stuffed Hamburger Recipe | Jenny Martinez

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: plain bread

Whole wheat buns add fiber, while plain bread is more economical.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: skip bacon

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while skipping it reduces cost.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be healthier, while ketchup is a cheaper alternative.

Mince 4 cloves of garlic and add to 2 pounds of ground beef.

Finely chop 1 small white onion and mix it into the beef.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture.

Season with 1 tablespoon of black pepper and mix well.

Grate 3 pieces of bread (using the ends) and incorporate into the meat mixture.

Wash hands and oil them to prevent sticking.

Form the meat mixture into balls and create a pocket for stuffing.

Stuff with cheese and optionally bacon, then seal the edges tightly.

Heat a skillet until hot and add the stuffed patties.

Cook until browned and cheese is melted, checking for doneness.

Prepare a spread with 1.5 cups mayonnaise, 2 spoonfuls dill relish, and ketchup to taste.

Toast the burger buns in the same skillet until crispy.

Assemble the burger with the spread, patty, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
