Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds ground beef (80-percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
4 English muffins, halved horizontally and toasted
1 tomato, sliced and lightly salted
Perfect Basil Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Quarter the beef into even portions. Form into burgers, indenting the middle slightly with your thumb. Season with salt and pepper, and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Cook on a hot grill until charred on the outside and pink on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Two minutes before removing the burgers, top the burgers with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the toasted muffins on a serving platter. Place the tomato slices on the bottom, and top each with cooked patties. Spread a tablespoon or two of the basil sauce on each bun top and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese. Serve extra basil sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Blend the green onion, basil, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender until creamy and pale green. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers turned out dry and crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars. The burgers were delicious, but they were a bit too messy to eat. I think I'll try cooking them on a grill next time.

These burgers were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the beef more thoroughly next time.

I had a hard time finding fresh basil, so I used dried basil instead. The burgers still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with fresh basil.

These burgers were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasonings next time.

I'm not usually a fan of basil, but I really enjoyed these burgers. The basil added a subtle flavor that didn't overpower the other ingredients.

I was a bit skeptical about the basil at first, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The basil adds a subtle sweetness that really complements the beef.
