Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 8 stuffed green olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cold
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Heat grill, if used. Shape ground beef into eight (4 inch) patties.
  2. Top 4 patties with olives.
  3. Cut cream cheese into 4 cubes.
  4. Flatten each cube into a patty and center one on each olive-topped burger.
  5. Top cheese with remaining patties; press edges together tightly to seal.
  6. Cook in large heavy skillet or on grill over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Turn patties and cook an additional 4 minutes for medium well or to desired doneness. If patty puffs during cooking, pierce with a wooden pick to release the steam.
  8. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
