Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the stuffing mix, milk, and minced onion in a bowl.
- Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes.
- Mix the stuffing mixture with ground beef, salt, and pepper.
- Form the mixture into 4 to 5 patties.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding shredded cheese or diced vegetables to the stuffing mixture for extra flavor. If you don't have herb-seasoned stuffing mix, you can use plain breadcrumbs combined with your favorite herbs. To keep the patties moist, avoid overmixing the beef and stuffing. You can also grill or pan-fry the burgers for a crispy exterior.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. They pair wonderfully with sides like Savory Corn Muffins or a fresh salad. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of roasted vegetables or potato wedges for a satisfying dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Stuffingburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them on a microwave-safe plate covered with a damp paper towel for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the Stuffingburgers?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They will keep well for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I serve with Stuffingburgers?
These burgers are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a classic potato salad or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast. You could also serve them alongside Cincinnati Chilli for a unique twist on a burger night.
Can I use ground turkey instead of hamburger?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great substitute for hamburger in this recipe. Just be aware that turkey can be a bit drier than beef, so consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil or an extra splash of milk to keep the patties moist.
