Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps

I almost always have leftover ground beef, don't you?  All those taco, chili, and burger recipes call for 1 or 2 lbs of ground beef but the meat is rarely packaged in even increments.  So, I separate out the extra and freeze it for a rainy day, which is what I did when I made these Pimento Cheese Stuffed Burgers.  Now, what to do with the leftover ground beef?  Just so happens I came across this recipe for Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps from Mostly Homemade Mom which would be perfect!  She got the idea from Skinny Mom's Kitchen.  After looking over both versions, I combined them to make my own.


Here is how I made them:

Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
dash of pepper
dash of salt
2 Flatout Wraps (I used 1 whole grain and 1 sun-dried tomato.)
2 slices white American cheese
2 leaves romaine lettuce
Ketchup
Mustard

Directions:

1.  In a medium skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the beef on medium until almost cooked through but still a little pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks.

2.  Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, grated Parmesan, dried onion flakes, salt, and pepper to the beef.  Stir together until thoroughly combined.

3.  Continue cooking until beef is cooked all the way through and no longer pink.

4.  Heat up the indoor grill pan sprayed with cooking spray over medium to high heat.

5.  In the center of the Flatout, place a slice of cheese and 1/2 of the beef mixture.  Add tomato, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard.

6.  Roll the wrap burrito style and place seam side down on the grill.  Once there are nice grill marks, turn over and grill for another 2-3 minutes.  Remove to plate and serve with steamed veggies or baked fries.

Serves 2.

Enjoy!

Pimento Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Looking for a new twist on the good old burger?  Give this a try!


Pimento Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Ingredients:

3/4 lb ground beef
4 tablespoons pimento cheese spread
2 hamburger buns
lettuce and sliced tomato for serving

Directions:

Divide ground beef into 4 3oz portions, shaping each portion into a ball.  Make a dent in each ball and fill with 1 tablespoon of the pimento cheese spread.  Take 2 of the filled balls, sandwich the cheese sides together and seal the edges.  This could get messy.  Just do your best to seal in the cheese and form a patty.  Place on a plate and put in the refrigerator covered with Saran Wrap until you're ready to grill.  Prior to grilling, season burgers with Montreal Steak Seasoning or Jax's.  Grill burgers on medium-hot, turning once, about 4 minutes per side or until done to your likeness.  You can toast the buns if you'd like.  Place burgers on the buns and top with lettuce and tomato.  Serves 2.

These burgers had a nice cheesy, spicy kick.  I served ours with baked sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli, and a glass of red wine, of course. :)

Enjoy!
