🕒 Prep Time: 20 min

⏲️ Cooking Time: 8 min
🍽️ Yields: 5 cheeseburgers

Ingredients

  • 500 g ground meat (beef, pork, or mixed)
  • 100 g cheese (e.g., cheddar or semi-hard cheese), sliced thin
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper paste
  • 1 tablespoon passata (tomato puree)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and green bell pepper until softened.
  • Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the ground meat bowl.
  • Add all spices, herbs, hot pepper paste, and passata to the meat mixture.
  • Knead thoroughly with your hands until evenly mixed and the color is uniform.

2. Shape the Stuffed Patties

  • Divide the meat mixture into 5 equal portions.
  • For each portion, divide it again into two equal parts and shape into balls.
  • Place the balls on a sheet of plastic wrap spaced apart. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap.
  • Using the bottom of a plate, gently flatten each ball into two thin patties.
  • Remove the top plastic wrap.
  • Place cheese slices in the center of one patty and press lightly to embed cheese into the meat.
  • Cover with the second patty.
  • Place the plastic wrap back on top and press gently so the two patties seal together.
  • Pinch edges firmly to prevent cheese from leaking while cooking.
  • Store patties in the fridge until ready to cook.

3. Cook the Cheeseburgers

  • Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-low heat.
  • Cook cheeseburgers for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and cheese melts inside.
  • If using a grill pan, drain excess fat between batches.

4. Serve

  • Serve hot between lightly toasted buns or bread slices.
  • Accompany with tzatziki sauce or your favorite condiments.

💡 Tips

  • Use cheese that melts well but holds shape, such as cheddar or gouda.
  • Pressing edges well prevents cheese leakage during cooking.
  • Allow patties to rest briefly before grilling for better texture.

  • Backyard barbecues and grill nights
