Grilled Italian Burgers


Ingredients

1.5 lbs lean ground beef 
1 Tbs tomato paste
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 C Parmesan cheese
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
8 slices Provolone cheese
fresh basil leaves
8 rolls, or hamburger buns
1/2 C mayonnaise
2 cloves roast garlic
1/4 C Parmesan cheese
fresh ground pepper
sliced tomatoes


Directions
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce. Using clean hands, gently mix the beef, until all is incorporated. Form the beef into a uniform size mound and score into equal pieces. Separate each piece in two, forming 8 patties.
  • Preheat grill over medium high heat. Place patties on hot grill, close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes; until the patty easily releases from the grates. Flip patties and top with a slice of Provolone cheese. Close lid and continue cooking for 2-4 minutes; until cooked through. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
  • While burgers are cooking, mix the mayonnaise, roast garlic, black pepper and 1/4 C of Parmesan, in a small bowl. 
  • To assemble: generously spread tops and bottoms of buns with roast garlic Parmesan Mayonnaise. Place a slice of tomato on bottom bun and season with salt and pepper. Top tomato with a beef patty and top with a few leaves of fresh basil. Place top bun and dig in.
