Gorgonzola and Pancetta Burger
This is one of my favorite burgers I have made in a long time. I make burgers all the time and try to come up with new combinations. This one is a combination of some delicious flavors including pancetta and fresh thyme. I made the burgers even more delicious by stuffing them with gorgonzola cheese…
- ½ cup pancetta, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 small shallots, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 pound grass fed ground beef
- 1 to 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola
- 4 Ciabatta rolls
- Sliced tomatoes
- Lettuce
Heat a small frying pan with the pancetta. Add the oil and sauté on medium heat for a minute. Add the shallots, garlic and fresh thyme. Saute on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Take off the heat and let cool. Add the mixture to the ground beef. Add salt and egg and mix well.
Divide the mixture into four parts. Take each part and form a ball. Flatten it and add 2 tablespoons of cheese in the middle. Fold the meat over the cheese and form a patty. Repeat and make three more patties. Cook on the grill or cook top. Serve on a Ciabatta roll with tomatoes and lettuce.
Turkey and Cremini Mushroom Cheeseburgers
This by far is the best turkey burger I have made and if I do say so- eaten as well. The patties were tender, juicy and delicious. The secret ingredient- are the cremini mushrooms. I processed them and added them to the ground turkey. I also added basil and garlic- thats it. It is very simple, yet it is amazingly scrumptious.
Try these burgers and give them to your kids- they won’t know you have mushrooms in them…
