I'd *love* to make this tonight for dinner since I've already got hamburger thawed but I'm very much a "need directions" kind of gal.

Can someone tell me how many eggs, how much hamburger used? Does the hamburger finish cooking in the oven or does it get thoroughly cooked in the frying pan with the oil?

Sniff...

These are so good! My children love them and it's a super easy dish to make!

I got this recipe originally from Carbohydrate Addicts Cookbook, but I tweaked it a bit and I think it comes out much better.

8 oz. ground beef, turkey, or pork
4 oz. cheese cubed (we've used both chedder and pepperjack)
2 tbsp. chopped onions (or 1 tbsp. of dried onion flakes)
1tbsp. almond flour (ground up almonds...you can make this you don't have to buy it!)

Now I season with different seasonings depending on how spicy we want it that night. You can use just garlic salt (or powder if you're cutting salt), steak seasoning, oregano, emeril's essence, really anything.

Preheat oven to 325F. Mix the meat with seasonings, almond flour, and onion (I added the almond flour as the original recipe was a little crumbly, it also had soy sauce in it which I don't care for. The flour made them turn out perfectly!) Form meat around each cheese cube into a ball about the size of a golf ball. ( You can skillet fry these, but I suggest baking them as it comes out alot better. ) Place on a lightly greased baking pan (spray with olive oil or pam). Bake for about 30 minutes. This makes about 8 meatballs, you can adjust the recipe to make more as you like. Don't worry about the seasonings, just experiment and you'll get something great!

Hope you like them!

These sound great! I think I'll make them this week!

This sounds good. Are they large enough to make a meal out of them, or just a bite-size snack? What else do you serve with them?

I made these this weekend for a snack for work and they turned out really really good.

1 lb. hamburger
1/2 pkg meatloaf seasoning
1 egg white (should be the consistancy of meatloaf, if its too wet, add some parmesan cheese)
cubes of pepperjack cheese (can use cheddar)

mix all the ingred. together except for pepperjack. pat out into patties and put a cube of cheese in the center. Fold up around cheese to form meatballs. Brown in skillet and bake in 350 oven till cooked through. (about 15 min. Very good for a meal or a snack.

Can't wait to try these! They sound GREAT!

I tried these over the weekend and they were great! I had a little trouble with leaking cheese, but other than that, it was really good.

What kind of seasoning did you use? I usually use regular seasoning for meatloaf rather than a mix. And did you do the egg white or whole egg? Just asking because I might be trying this one soon.

I used McCormick meatloaf seasoning, which is what I use when I make a regular meatloaf, and I used just the egg white because I was worried that if I used a whole egg it would be too wet - I didn't have any parmesan cheese to compensate for that.

Thanks...I'll have to pick up some of that McCormick's. I always have parmesan on hand, though!

Bacon-Stuffed Burgers

Meanwhile, combine beef, pork, cheese, pepper, garlic powder and steak sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 16 patties. Divide bacon mixture and place over eight of the patties. Place remaining patties on top and press edges tightly to seal. Grill over medium coals until well-done (pork sausage in burgers requires thorough cooking).

Serve on buns, with lettuce if desired.

do you have to use the pork? is it essential to the taste?

DH is spoiling me today with these gorgeous, yummalicious burgers. I thought I would share the recipe. He really just threw stuff together, but I can piece it together enough for a recipe.

2 lbs hamburger
chopped onions
shredded cheese
packet of taco seasoning
packet of enchilada seasoning
cheese slices
chopped tomato
avocado
lime juice

Here are his instructions:
Put hamburger in a bowl. Throw in 1/4-1/2 cup chopped onion, or less if you desire. Up to you. Add a handful of shredded cheese, packet of taco seasoning and packet of enchilada seasoning (don't add the water). Squish it all up and make burgers (6-8 burgers.) While they're cooking...

Take 1 avocado and cut it up and slightly smash it. Throw in chopped tomatoes, more chopped onion and some squirts of lime juice (basically making a guacamole).

When burgers are almost done, add a slice of cheese to them (if you like cheeseburgers) and top with a couple spoonfuls of the 'guacamole'.

Enjoy!
(I'll have to come back and post the carb/fiber count for ya.)

Hmmmm....sounds good. Thanks. New hamburger recipes are always welcome.

this sounds really great. i am going to have to try this . sue
