Inside Out Sirloin Cheeseburgers

By gmbeckett

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef sirloin
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced bacon (uncooked), optional
• 1/4 cup each bread crumbs and minced onion
• 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp minced fresh rosemary, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Combine beef, garlic, egg, cheese, bacon (if using), bread crumbs, onion, worcestershire sauce and rosemary (if using) in bowl.

Divided meat into 6 portions. Form into 3/4 inch thick patties. Make thumb-print depression in center of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make ahead: refrigerate covered, up to one day.

Grill over medium heat on preheated, oiled grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, testing doneness with a digital instant read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty to ensure patties are cooked to 160F.

Topping - saute mushrooms and onions.

Change it up: drop the bacon, hold the rosemary and cheddar add in:

Muffletta Brugers: 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese, 1/3 cup chopped pitted green olives and 1 tsp dried italian seasoning

Greek Goddess: 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped softened sun-dried tomatoes and 1 tsp dried oregano.
