Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese

  • 4 fresh hamburger buns

Directions

  1. Combine beef, tomato paste, salt, sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors marry, about 4 hours.

  2. Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each of 4 patties; leave at least a 1/2-inch border, breaking up the cheese as needed. Place remaining patties on top and pinch edges to seal in the cheese.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry burgers until browned and centers reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 6 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on buns.

Cook's Note:

Use umami paste in place of tomato paste if possible.
