If the name of these hamburgers don’t get you excited, I don’t know what else to tell you about them.  All else I can say is that I found this recipe online the other day, made them last week, and my husband and I both liked them so much that he asked me to make them the next night for dinner.  I don’t know if we’ve ever done that before!  Don’t get me wrong, we eat leftovers, but I don’t remember the last time I actually went through the process of making the exact same dinner two nights in a row.  So…here you have it:

Stuffed Hamburger with Avocado

• 1/4 c. mayonnaise
• 1/4 c. Dijon mustard
• ketchup**
• 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp prepared steak seasoning
• 1 ripe Hass avocado, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• garlic salt**
• 4 slices cheese**
• 4 hamburger buns, sliced**
• spinach leaves
• 2 tomatoes, sliced

1. Prepare grill (or plug in George Foreman grill).
2. Combine mayo & mustard, set aside.
3. In a bowl, combine meat, Worcestershire sauce & steak seasoning.  Mix well.  Divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into two thin patties; set aside.
4. Gently combine avocado, lemon juice and garlic salt, making sure all the avocado is covered.
5. Top half of the patties with the avocado mixture, then top each with another patty, pinching to seal, forming a smooth edge.
6. Grill over medium-hot coals for 5-6 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside (I just cooked ours on the George Foreman grill!).  Just before removing from the grill, place a slice of cheese on each patty & allow to melt.
7. Place buns cut side down on the grill to toast.  Remove burgers & rolls form the grill.
8. Serve burgers with mayo, mustard, ketchup, spinach, & tomato slices.

Recommendations:

• Ketchup:  the original recipe didn’t call for ketchup (just the mayo & mustard), but the second night I made these we put ketchup on them and liked them better with it.
• Garlic:  The original recipe said to put roasted garlic on top of the avocado, and it told you how to make the roasted garlic, but I thought that just took too much time, so I just used garlic salt.  I’m sure the roasted garlic would make them taste even better, so if you have enough time to deal with that you can view the original recipe.
• Cheese:  The original recipe called for Jalsburg cheese, but I just used muenster and it tasted great.
• Buns:  The original recipe called for ciabatta rolls, but I just used normal wheat hamburger buns.
