3 hrsForget piling toppings on your burger. These retro patties mix everything right into the meat.
Ground round gets loaded up with cubed cheddar, chopped tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, scallions, and a hit of garlic.
Wheat germ acts as the binder, and a few hours in the fridge firms them up so they hold together on the grill or in the skillet.
Ten minutes per side and you’ve got a juicy, veggie-stuffed patty with pockets of melted cheese in every bite.
Pro Tips
- Chill time matters. Don’t skip the 2 to 3 hours in the fridge. Cold patties hold their shape and won’t crumble when you flip them.
- Press the patties firmly before cooking. The vegetables release moisture, so a tight press keeps everything bound together.
- Cube the cheese small so it distributes evenly and melts into gooey pockets throughout the patty.
