Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pesto
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 pounds ground goat meat
Seasoned salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, diced
6 slices mozzarella
6 hamburger buns, preferably 5-inch diameter
2 medium tomatoes, sliced thickly

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, pesto and cumin in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat griddle or grill to high heat.
  • Form meat into 6 patties, then sprinkle with seasoned salt and place on grill. Sear until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip and repeat for other side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until desired temperature is reached.
  • Heat butter in skillet on medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and a golden-brown color.

GOAT CHEESE STUFFED LAMB BURGERS



Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers image

I love making these flavorful lamb burgers stuffed with creamy, delicious goat cheese. I use basil and oregano in mine, but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices, this recipe is very forgiving. Using fresh rosemary in the goat cheese filling will give the burgers a real Greek flavor. Serve the burgers on hamburger buns or pita bread with tzatziki sauce, or on their own with a Greek salad.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
2 pounds ground lamb
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 ounces soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Gently knead together the softened onions, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 parts and roll into balls, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix together the goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Working with one portion of meat at a time, make an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb. Fill the indentation with a heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture. Gently pull and form the meat patty around the cheese filling, making a burger-shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of the lamb mixture.
  • Grill the patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and well done, about 8 minutes per side.

GRILLED HAMBURGERS



Grilled Hamburgers image

We cook a lot of burgers indoors on a fat-slicked iron skillet, and you can do that on a grill as well. (Here's our burger guide for more information and inspiration.) But sometimes you want a smoky grilled burger. For that, a charcoal grill is best, but a gas grill can do the trick, too. Resist the temptation to press down on the burgers with a spatula, which only spews juice and fat on the fire, causing the flames to flare up and the burger to lose flavor. If you feel your burger is cooking too quickly, use the cooler sides of the grill to rest them. And remember: lowering the top on the grill helps cheese melt.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, about 20 percent fat
Kosher salt and black pepper
Cheese slices (optional)
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. (Check out our grilling guide for how.) Form the patties into 3/4-inch burgers, being careful not to make them too loose or too large, then make a deep depression in the center of each burger with your thumb. Season both sides of the each burger aggressively with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Place burgers on a hot grill and cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the hamburger over. If using cheese, lay slices on the meat. Continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes while you toast the buns. Top the burgers as you desire.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: For the best flavor and texture, use a blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin. The chuck adds flavor, while the sirloin keeps the burgers from becoming too greasy.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to season your burgers liberally. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential, and you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Be sure to mix the seasonings into the meat evenly.
  • Form the Burgers Gently: Handle the meat gently when forming the burgers. Overworking the meat will make the burgers tough.
  • Make a Thumbprint: Before grilling, make a small thumbprint in the center of each burger. This will help the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from puffing up.
  • Grill Over Medium Heat: Grill the burgers over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Let the Burgers Rest: Once the burgers are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.
  • Top with Goat Cheese: Top the burgers with goat cheese and grilled onions for a delicious and flavorful twist.

Conclusion:

These grilled hamburgers with goat cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can create juicy, flavorful burgers that will be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
