Hidden Surprise Burgers!

Last night, we were out super late, so we forewent cooking & got take out.
Tonight, I wanted to try something different.  Think of these as kinda like the Patty Melts you can get at Whataburger or Waffle House.
I present to you now...Hidden Surprise Burgers...
(You'll understand the surprise in a moment!)
These are pretty amazing...and for the punch they pack, they're surprisingly (reasonably) low on calories!

Look at that greasy, delicious goodness.  LOOK AT IT!

Here's what you'll need!

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp hot sauce (I used Louisiana Hot Sauce)
• 1 tbsp bread crumbs
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1 tbsp diced pickled jalapeno pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease or line a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, combine the egg, ground beef, onion, hot sauce, and bread crumbs.  Season with paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the cheese and jalapenos.  
4. Form the beef mixture into 4 balls and press a well into the center of each.  Stuff with equal amounts of the cheese mixture.  Press meat around the filling to seal.
5. Press the balls into thick patties and place in your baking dish.
6. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once, until well done.

Makes 4 patties.

What can I say?  I'm a girl that likes a burger on plain white bread.  So sue me.

All in all, not terrible for you.  And soooo yummy!  Just don't make it every day.  :)
