Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture and mix well to incorporate the seasonings thoroughly.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, roughly forming ball shapes.
Step 4
Flatten each ball into a thin patty using your palms or a burger press.
Step 5
Place about 1 tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
Step 6
Cover each cheese-topped patty with one of the remaining 4 patties, sealing the edges by pressing them together firmly to ensure the cheese stays enclosed.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the stuffed patties into the skillet.
Step 9
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they register at least 160°F internally to ensure the meat is fully cooked.
Step 10
Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite low-carb sides like a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
