Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken or lamb)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups Vella Pesto Jack Cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsps Vella Dry Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Directions

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with salt, pepper, and egg.

Divide the mixture into 6 portions.

Combine the remaining ingredients and divide them into 6 equal portions as well.

Wrap each portion of meat around a portion of the basil mixture and flatten slightly to form a patty.  Seal edges to keep cheese from oozing out while cooking burgers.

Preheat the grill, broiler, or skillet. Cook each burger to the desired level of doneness -- approximately 5 minutes per side for rare, 7 minutes for medium, and 8 minutes for well-done.
