Stuffed Hamburger

Everyone loves a great hamburger. So, a stuffed hamburger takes it to the next level!

For those of you wondering, a stuffed hamburger means there are some additional ingredients inside of the meat patty.

For this recipe, I’ve put together a BBQ stuffed hamburger recipe for the grill.

Have you ever wondered how to make stuffed hamburgers on the grill?

It took me a while before I was able to ketchup with the trend, but then I mustard up the courage to try to make a stuffed hamburger myself.

And yes, like you, I looked online for instructions on how to make a stuffed hamburger too.

I do add my own ingredients which helps the burger stay together better on the grill.

See the recipe below!

How to Make Stuffed Burgers Stay Together

Making a stuffed hamburger really isn’t all too difficult. The trick is not to be too-too gentle with it.

When I first tried to make a stuffed hamburger, I assembled it quite carefully.

However, the trick is just to pinch the edges well. Then, slap it together with your hands. So it doesn’t come apart when you grill it.

Pinching the burger edges only gets you so far. You need to slap and shape the burger together with your hands—and don’t be gentle about it!

How to Make Stuffed Burgers

I like to stuff burgers with shredded Mexican cheese mix, a few pieces of chopped peppers and onions.

You’ll want to place the ingredients in the centre on your patty. This will ensure there’s enough meat on the edges to put the ingredients in the middle.

To top my stuffed burgers, I like to use a nice crisp iceberg lettuce and tomato. I place them on the bottom side of the bun to keep the bun from getting soggy.

Then, of course, I love to add the tasty New Heinz® Yellow Mustard and Heinz Ketchup.

Speaking of soggy buns, the new Heinz Yellow Mustard comes in a bottom squeeze container which means no shaking and no water mess on your bun from that first “oh crap I forgot to shake it” squeeze!

It’s also thicker than other mustard, so it doesn’t soak into the bread.

Oh yes, your heard me right, I said Heinz Yellow Mustard!

The all new Heinz Yellow Mustard was launched at Walmart in February, and is now in other retailers nationwide. You’ll find it sitting right there next to your all time favorite, Heinz Ketchup. The Heinz Yellow Mustard has a great balance of flavor and tang that is made from 100% natural ingredients – you have to appreciate that!

Good Sides for Stuffed Hamburgers

I like grilled asparagus with my burger.

But I suppose most people like potato chips, especially when BBQing!

For making asparagus, I usually just brush a little oil on them and toss them on the grill until they get a nice char on them. It’s a quick and easy side to have with a nice stuffed burger.

How Long to Cook Stuffed Hamburgers

Grill the burger until it’s cooked to your liking.

I like mine medium to medium-well. That means your meat thermometer should read 168 degrees or better.

For our particular grill it’s 6 to 7 minutes per side, your grill may be different.

  3. I loved your cute little puns at the beginning. 🙂 This burger looks AMAZING! And can I just say how awesome it is that the yellow mustard is made with all natural ingredients? My son can’t have food dyes, especially yellow 5 and I LOVE finding new things that he can eat instead of telling him all the things he can’t eat.

  4. I used to not like mustard growing up, but now it put it on my burgers, hot dogs, and my Cuban sandwich. It adds awesome flavor, and I am glad I am able to enjoy it now. Your burger recipe looks awesome and can’t wait to try it on our new grill this summer!
