The Best Burger Pattie is so tasty and bursting with flavor and it is not only because of of the oh, so gooey cheese oozing out with each bite !

If I tell you this is the best Best Burger Pattie ever ? Would you believe me ? Until you try the recipe yourself, you will have to take my word for it.

I can not even begin to guess at how many burgers I have had over the years, and I am sure if you are a burger lover, you do not know either.

Anyhow, with all the different burgers, different types of patties have also come and gone.

Somehow, I always choose a burger, whether homemade or from a restaurant, based on the ingredients – the way the burger is build. Never because of the pattie.

Now, have a look at the above photo, even if I say so myself, the gooey cheese looks amazing, but the rest of the burger … not much going on , right?

It is because nothing much is needed to add flavor to the burger – all the juicy deliciousness is in the burger pattie.

To stay true to tradition, I did put out all the extras on the side and everyone build their own burger.

I had extra slices of Gouda, Lettuce, Arugula, Tomato, Onion and a burger Sauce or two for each one to add or omit as they wished.

Servings Patties

Ingredients

900 g Lean Ground Beef ( 2 pounds )
½ cup Sundried Tomatoes in Oil drained and chopped finely
⅓ cup Basil Pesto
1 Egg
Black Pepper to taste
Salt to taste (a little, as the Tomatoes already adds some salt)
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese grated

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the Ground Beef, Tomatoes, Pesto, Egg and season to taste with Black Pepper and Salt – form 8 equal sized balls
Flatten each Meat Ball to about twice the size of a normal Pattie – not too thin, though – place a quarter cup of Mozzarella Cheese in the center – fold over the sides of the Meat to enclose the Cheese – press a bit and make sure it is properly sealed all over
Place the Patties in a single layer, on a wax paper lined baking sheet (or something similar) – chill for 25 – 30 minutes to firm up
The Patties are now ready to be grilled, fried or whichever cooking method you prefer
