I made this the other night when all I had in the fridge was ground beef and cream cheese. I am sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but I "invented" this by myself and have no one to credit the recipe to.
Ingredients:
*Ground beef
*Cream Cheese
*Desired spices
1. First, season the amount of ground beef that you will need for the number of burgers you want to make (eyeball it). I used cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
2. Next, made a thin hamburger patty (think, the thickness of a cooked mcdonald's patty, or thinner)
3. Put about 1-2 TBSP cream cheese in the center of the patty
4. Make another, identical thin patty and place over the top.
5. seal around the edges by pressing down
6. I cooked mine for 6 minutes per side on medium heat in a skillet. Your cooking times may vary due to burger thickness and heat level. You could also grill this.
7. EAT! This is soo good and Induction friendly. Also good to serve the whole family. The non-Atkins people can eat it on a bun. The cream cheese gets so good and melty, and the meat stays really moist.
Ideas: You could really use any ground meat for this. Also, if one had more time and ingredients, one could experiment with different seasoning mixtures for the cream cheese. I thought that a "Mexican" variety using taco seasoning in the cream cheese and served with pepper-jack cheese and an avocado slice would be tasty too.
