Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar and salt. Mix the ingredients together with your hands to combine. Form into 6 equal-sized balls.

In a small bowl, toss together the mozzarella and basil. Make an indentation in each ball and press in some of the mozzarella/basil mixture. Seal the mozzarella in and press to form patties, about an inch thick.

Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Place formed burger patties on the grill and lower the flame to medium. Close the grill lid and let burgers cook for 2 minutes covered. Open lid and using a spatula, gently press down on the burger patty. Close lid again, and cook for another 2-3 minutes on first side.

Flip the burger to opposite side, and again close the lid. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until a nice crust has formed on the burger, or to your temperature liking.
