Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with 1/4 cup of A.1. steak sauce and shape into 4 patties.
- Dip each patty in beaten egg, then coat with Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
- Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese to melt.
- Warm spaghetti sauce in a saucepan.
- Serve the burgers topped with heated spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try mixing in minced garlic or chopped onions into the beef mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. To make the burgers even more flavorful, consider adding some Worcestershire sauce along with the steak sauce. Make sure to let the oil heat properly before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Parmesan Burgers with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a simple coleslaw or even the Cabbage Wedge Meal for a hearty dinner. Don't forget to offer extra A.1. sauce on the side for those who enjoy a bolder flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them in 30-second intervals, but be cautious not to overcook, as they may become dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these burgers before cooking?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Make sure to separate them with parchment paper and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before following the cooking instructions.
What can I use instead of peanut oil?
If you prefer not to use peanut oil, you can substitute it with canola oil or olive oil. Both options will work well for frying the patties, providing a different but delicious flavor profile.
Can I make these burgers on the grill?
Absolutely! These burgers can be grilled instead of pan-fried. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, adding the mozzarella cheese during the last minute, just as you would in the skillet.
