Spread-A-Burger offers a savory, cheesy twist on classic sandwiches with seasoned ground beef, melted mozzarella, and a rich cheddar cheese soup, perfect for hearty casual dining.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend cooked ground beef, condensed Cheddar cheese soup, Worcestershire sauce or prepared mustard, chopped onion, and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the meat mixture on each split roll half.
- Spread to cover the edges of each roll.
- Place the rolls, meat side up, on a baking dish.
- Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 7 to 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with shredded Mozzarella cheese and continue broiling until the cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the meat mixture for extra flavor. You can substitute the Cheddar cheese soup with a homemade cheese sauce if preferred. If you want a lighter version, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. To enhance flavors, let the mixture rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Spread-A-Burger with a side of crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. These burgers also pair wonderfully with coleslaw or pickles for added crunch. For a fun twist, try them with a side of Tasty Broiled Hamburgers for a burger night theme.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Spread-A-Burger in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted again. Alternatively, microwave them for about 1 minute, but broiling will ensure they remain crispy.
