  • ¼ cup soft bread crumbs

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Combine the ground beef, mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, and barbecue sauce. Shape into 4 burgers and season both sides with salt and pepper.
    1 1/2 pounds ground beef | 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese | 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs | 2 tbsp barbecue sauce | Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Heat a grill pan or iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop or prepare an outdoor gas or charcoal grill for direct medium-high heat. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
    • If grilling outdoors, chill the shaped patties for 15 to 20 minutes before cooking to help them hold together better.
  • Arrange the burgers in buns. Brush with extra BBQ sauce or top with your favorite burger condiment. Finish with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, onion slices, and pickles as desired.
