Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1.5 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.25 teaspoon salt
12 2 inch mozzarella cheese sticks
0.333 cup chopped roasted red sweet peppers
Salt
Ground black pepper
0.333 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon basil pesto
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
0.75 cup fresh basil, arugula, or spinach leaves

Steps:

In a large bowl combine ground beef, vinegar, the 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the 1/4 teaspoon salt. Working on waxed paper, shape mixture into twelve 4-inch-diameter patties.
Place cheese and roasted peppers on the center of six of the patties. Top with the remaining six patties; pinch edges together to seal.
Place waxed paper with patties on a baking sheet and freeze about 1 hour or until firm. Layer frozen patties between sheets of waxed paper in a freezer container; seal and freeze for up to 1 month.
To serve, thaw in a single layer in the refrigerator overnight. Sprinkle patties with additional salt and black pepper.
For a charcoal or gas grill, place patties on the grill rack directly over medium-high heat. Cover and grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until patties are done (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and pesto. Spread cut sides of buns with mayonnaise mixture. Fill buns with burgers and basil leaves.
