Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (4 1/4 ounce) can ripe olives, chopped (I prefer green olives)
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
salt
1 tablespoon italian seasoning, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 rolls or 4 hamburger buns, split, toasted
1 medium tomatoes, sliced
prepared pizza sauce (optional)
mayonnaise (optional)
lettuce (optional)

Steps:

In small bowl, combine cheese, olives, and onion.
Shape ground beef into eight patties, approximately 4 1/2-inch diameter.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of cheese mixture in center of four patties; top with remaining patties. Press edges firmly together to seal; gently pat to 3/4-inch thickness.
In small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Press evenly into both sides of each patty.
Place patties on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 22 to 24 minutes to medium doneness (160 degrees) or until centers of patties are no longer pink and juices show no pink color; turn occasionally.
Season burgers with salt, as desired. Line bottom of each roll with one tomato slice; top with burger.
Add choice of toppings, if desired.
