Description

These spinach and artichoke burgers offer a delightful twist on the classic burger experience. Forget the bun; these patties are delicious and satisfying with a fork and knife, highlighting the flavorful filling within. Each burger is carefully crafted with a vibrant mixture of spinach and artichoke hearts, bound together by a creamy, cheese-infused sauce that melts in your mouth with every bite.

Once cooked to your preference, the burgers are generously crowned with even more of this delectable spinach and artichoke mixture, creating a luscious topping that elevates the entire dish. A brief stint under the broiler transforms the topping, giving it a beautifully crisp, golden-brown finish. A light dusting of parmesan cheese adds a salty, savory note that perfectly complements the creamy filling.

These burgers are excellent as a make-ahead main course. Serve them with your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal. If you prefer a handheld experience, a crisp lettuce wrap makes a refreshing alternative to a traditional bun.

Achieving the perfect level of doneness is key to a juicy and flavorful burger. When cooking in a skillet, start with high heat to sear the outside. For a medium-rare burger, cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

Medium burgers require 4-5 minutes per side, while medium-well burgers benefit from 5 minutes per side. For those who prefer a well-done burger, cook for about 6 minutes per side. To achieve a crispy exterior and a juicy interior, reduce the heat to medium after flipping the burger.

Consider adding classic burger toppings to your finished spinach and artichoke burger. Diced tomato, shredded lettuce, or sliced pickles offer fresh, crunchy contrast to the creamy filling. Sautéed mushrooms would also make an excellent addition, adding an earthy depth of flavor.

For healthy and satisfying side dishes, opt for low-carb vegetables. Alternatively, a refreshing side salad complements the richness of the burgers. Share your favorite pairings and meal prep ideas with others in the comments below!

Instructions

    1.
    Melt the butter in a pan over low heat on a stove. Add in whole spinach leaves and artichoke hearts, and stir until the spinach wilts down in the butter. Place a lid over the pan and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes over low heat. Once the artichoke hearts are softened, use a wooden spoon to break up the artichoke layers.
    2.
    Stir the heavy cream into the pan of spinach and artichokes. Return the lid to the pan again and bring the cream to a simmer. Let the pan simmer once more for another 3 minutes over very low heat. Remove the lid and stir in the gouda cheese. Once the cheese has melted, set the pan aside to cool.
    3.
    In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef with seasoned salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your wooden spoon to mix about ⅓ of your spinach and artichoke mixture into the ground beef. Since no extra binder is added, use your hand or the spoon to tenderize the ground beef to release some of the fat. The fat will help the mixture bind together.
    4.
    Heat individual 1 teaspoon portions of oil for each burger you’re going to cook in a new pan on the stove. Heat the oil on high heat and portion the ground beef into your servings. Press each serving into a portion of oil and press the burgers into ½-inch thick patties. Cook the burgers to your desired doneness. You may wish to slightly undercook the burgers because they will be finished in the oven.
    5.
    Preheat your oven’s broiler on high heat. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper or lightly spray a seasoned tray with pan spray. Arrange the burgers on the tray and spoon an equal amount of leftover spinach and artichoke filling on top of each burger. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of parmesan cheese on top of each burger and set the tray in your oven. Broil the burgers for about 5 minutes or until the tops become lightly golden brown.
