Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Button mushrooms, diced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 whole Large burger bun (optional)
• 2 whole Lettuce leaves (optional)
• 2 whole Tomato slices (optional)
• 4 slices Pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and mushrooms, cooking until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burger tender.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions. Flatten one portion into a large, even patty approximately 1 inch thick, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Spoon the cooked onion and mushroom mixture onto the center of the patty, leaving about an inch of space around the edge. Top the mixture with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Take the second portion of beef mixture and flatten it into another large, even patty. Carefully place it on top of the first patty with the filling. Pinch and seal the edges carefully to encase the filling completely.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If using a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 7

Cook the giant stuffed burger patty for 10-12 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until the beef is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Reduce heat if needed to avoid burning.

Step 8

While the burger cooks, you can toast the large burger bun, if desired, and prepare optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

Step 9

Once the patty is done, place it on the bottom half of the burger bun. Add optional toppings and close with the top bun. Slice into quarters for easier serving or keep it whole for a dramatic presentation!

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this crowd-pleasing stuffed beef burger.
