Sun-dried tomato and avocado stuffed burgers are a delicious twist on the classic burger, combining the rich, savory flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and the creamy texture of avocado. These burgers are perfect for a summer grill out or any meal where you need a flavorful, filling dish that will impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
- Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix until well combined.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef:
- Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of additional salt and black pepper if desired.
- Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions.
- Take one portion and flatten it into a thin patty about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) thick. Repeat with another portion.
4. Stuff the Burgers:
- Place a generous scoop of the avocado mixture (about 2 tablespoons) in the center of one patty.
- Place the second patty on top of the first and gently press the edges together to seal the avocado mixture inside. Ensure there are no gaps.
- Repeat the process for the remaining portions, making a total of 4 stuffed burgers.
- Preheat your grill or a frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill rack or pan to prevent sticking.
- Place the stuffed burgers onto the grill or pan.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness. Be careful not to press down on the burgers while cooking to avoid the filling from oozing out.
- Once cooked, remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the stuffed burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and condiments, or enjoy them on their own.
Tips:
- Make sure to handle the avocados gently when mixing with the other ingredients to preserve their texture.
- Do not overmix the ground beef mixture, as it can make the burgers tough.
- Use ripe but firm avocados, so they hold their shape while cooking.
- Chill the stuffed burger patties for about 15-20 minutes before grilling. This step helps them hold together better while cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for proper internal temperature (160°F or 71°C for ground beef) to ensure the burgers are cooked through.
- Variations can be added by including herbs like basil or cilantro in the stuffing mix for an added layer of flavor.
- Toast your burger buns on the grill to add an extra crunch and enhance the overall texture of your burger.
There you have it – sun-dried tomato and avocado stuffed burgers that are sure to be a hit at your next gathering! With the combination of savory sun-dried tomatoes, creamy avocado, and perfectly seasoned beef, these burgers offer a delicious and unique taste experience. Enjoy your meal!
