These Cheese-Stuffed Gourmet Burgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a creamy cheese filling and a flavorful patty.
Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, pepper, minced onion, oregano, and basil in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when shaping the patties.
Mix the cream cheese and blue cheese together in a small bowl.
If the cheese mixture is too firm, microwave it for a few seconds to soften.
Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto the center of 6 patties, spreading slightly.
Keep the filling away from the edges to make sealing easier.
Top each filled patty with another patty and press the edges together to seal.
Pinch the edges firmly to ensure the filling stays inside during cooking.
Grill the patties over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Serve the burgers with your choice of toppings and sides.
For a gourmet touch, serve with caramelized onions and arugula.
