Ingredients
lean ground beef
2 lbs (none)
savory herb with garlic soup mix
1 envelope (none)
cream cheese
8 ounces (softened)
green onion
1/4 cup (chopped)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with 1 tablespoon of the savory herb and garlic soup mix. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
2
Shape the beef mixture into 8 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
3
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, the remaining soup mix, and the chopped green onions until smooth.
4
Take one beef patty and place 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the center. Place another beef patty on top, carefully sealing the edges around the filling to ensure it doesn't escape during cooking.
5
Once all patties are stuffed and sealed, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step helps the burgers maintain their shape while grilling.
6
For freezing, place the uncooked patties on a cookie sheet in a single layer and flash freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag or vacuum-seal them for later use.
7
When ready to cook, thaw the burgers in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat your grill and cook the burgers as usual until they reach your desired level of doneness.
