I am always looking for ways to jazz up the boring burger and came up with this after having a delicious caprese salad. Be sure to use fresh basil and the marinated tomatoes are a must!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
4 thick slices tomato
1 ⅓ pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon tomato paste
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Whisk the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over tomato slices to marinate.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix ground beef, tomato paste, basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Form beef mixture into 4 equal patties.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Top each burger with mozzarella cheese; allow to melt. Serve on hamburger buns with marinated tomato slices.

Not bad! The burger was cooked well and the ingredients were fresh, but I found the overall flavor to be a bit bland. I think it could have used some more seasoning or sauce. I'll try it again with some different toppings next time.
