Ingredients

Scale

Burgers

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat content recommended)
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic (fresh preferred)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Tomato Cream Sauce

  • 2 tbsp beef stock
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, crumbled feta, fresh basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid making the patties tough.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 14 mini patties, each about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
  3. Cook Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. Drain Excess Grease: Carefully drain excess grease from the skillet, leaving a thin layer to develop the flavor for the sauce.
  5. Deglaze Pan: Lower the heat to medium and add beef stock to the skillet, scraping up all the browned bits stuck to the pan for added flavor.
  6. Make Tomato Cream Sauce: Whisk in the heavy whipping cream, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and chopped green onions. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Combine Patties and Sauce: Return the cooked patties to the skillet and simmer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes allowing the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve: Serve the patties topped with the tomato cream sauce and garnish with extra chopped green onions for freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef to ensure juicy burgers with enough fat content.
  • Do not overmix the burger mixture to keep patties tender.
  • The patties can be made larger if preferred; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute feta and cream with appropriate non-dairy ingredients but note that flavor will differ.
  • Leftover patties and sauce can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days.
