Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Basil
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 pound Mozzarella Cheese cut into 6 slices
  • 1 loaf Italian Bread
  • tablespoon Olive Oil to drizzle
  • 1 clove Garlic Halved
  • 1 8-ounce jar Bruschetta Mix

Instructions
 

  • In large bowl combine ground beef, parmesan cheese, basil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients, using your hands.
  • Divide the meat into 6 equal portions. With each portion divide it again in half when forming the burgers.
  • Flatten out one half, place a slice of fresh mozzarella on top and top with remaining half of meat, forming into a round flat patty, pinching the sides closed, so the cheese isn't exposed.
  • Repeat with all the meat, making 6 burgers. Heat grill to medium high heat and cook burgers for 5-6 minutes on each side.
  • While burgers are cooking slice the loaf of Italian bread into 3/4 inch slices. Drizzle with olive oil. Place bread on a baking sheet and place under the broiler, or on the grill for 1-2 minutes until toasted. (If you use the broiler watch closely so bread doesn't burn!)
  • As soon as the bread is toasted, remove it from the broiler or grill and rub with the inside of remaining clove of garlic that has been halved.
  • When burgers are done, place on non-toasted side of bread, top with a generous portion of Bruschetta and the other slice of toast. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use 80/20 beef when making burgers.
