Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika; mix gently to combine without overworking.
- Step 2: Divide the beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty, place one 1/2 oz cheddar cheese cube in the center, and fold the edges over to seal, forming stuffed burger patties.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through, ensuring cheese inside melts.
- Step 4: Remove patties and keep warm. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 3 tbsp unsalted butter along with 4 minced garlic cloves.
- Step 5: Add 8 oz sliced button mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and coated in fragrant garlic butter.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over mushrooms and serve alongside the cheese-stuffed burger patties for a hearty keto meal.
