Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb. Ground beef
  • 1 tbsp. Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 c. Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp Sundried tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp. Fresh basil leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the 2 lbs of ground beef into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Pour in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and then mix the meat well using your hands.
  • Form a beef patty in the palm of your hand.
  • Cup your hand slightly and push down into the center to form a sort of bowl in the middle of the patty. Fill the center of the patty with a bit of mozzarella cheese.
  • Top the cheese with some chopped sundried tomato and fresh basil.
  • Place another pinch of mozzarella cheese on top, and then form a second smaller beef patty to fit on top of the fillings. Shape the edges of the patty together so that you have a nice stuffed beef patty with none of the fillings showing through.
  • Continue steps 5-8 with the remaining ground beef and fillings. When you are finished, you should have five equal stuffed patties.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to it once hot, and cook them for for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until your desired level of doneness has been reached.
  • Wrap the burgers in lettuce leaves, slice in half, and serve with your favorite toppings or condiments.
  • Enjoy!
