Categories: Burgers, Dinner

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef (80% preferred), chilled
  • 3 oz Frozen Spinach, frozen and crumbled
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 4 oz. Cheese (American or Fontina, or whatever you like), cut to roughly 1″ squares.
  • Kosher Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper

Directions

  1. Pre-heat grill to high.

  2. Thoroughly combine beef, spinach, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. If the meat starts to warm up (from your hands) put it back in the fridge, you need to keep it chilled. Measure out 4 oz balls of beef mixture.

  3. Roll into a ball then flatten into a thin patty on top of wax paper, about 1/4″ high and roughly 5″ in diameter. On half of the patties place 1 oz of cheese.

  4. On to each cheese-topped patty, flip a second patty to cover the cheese. Pinch the edges together forming a swell in the middle. Re-cover with wax paper and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.

  5. Grill chilled patties five minutes on first side, then flip, grill another two minutes. Serve on your favorite bun with sauteed onions.
