These legendary stuffed burgers are here to take your BBQ game to the next level.
They’re thick, juicy, and literally bursting with incredible flavors. One bite, and you’ll never go back to normal burgers again.
But what are they stuffed with?
Well, you’ll find everything from ooey-gooey cheese and bacon to spicy taco fixins on this list of stuffed burgers.
There’s even a fun pepperoni pizza stuffed burger and one that’s overloaded with mac and cheese.
Hungry yet? Me too! So, let’s jump right in!
1. Cheese Stuffed Burger
Do you just slap a slice of American cheese on a patty and call it a day? If so, it’s time to up your game with this cheeseburger.
Hiding inside the savory ground beef patty is gooey sharp cheddar cheese. But that’s not all!
There’s also caramelized onions, along with thick strips of bacon sandwiched between the bun.
Do yourself and your friends a solid and ditch the subpar cheeseburgers for this one.
2. Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Burger with Tomato and Basil
Turn your turkey burger into an enrapturing feast with this stuffed version.
The patty may look unassuming, but bite in, and you’ll be happy to find fresh mozzarella.
Double up on the cheese and top the burger with some too. Then add a slice of tomato and fresh basil to make it Caprese style.
Meanwhile, the patty itself gets a little sprucing up with vinegar, basil, parsley, and an egg for binding.
3. Greek Stuffed Feta Burgers with Tzatziki
These Greek burgers are epic, to say the least.
The ground beef is dolled up with roasted red bell peppers, garlic, lemon, and more. Then, as if that’s not enough, fresh feta gets encased inside.
Add some tzatziki, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, and red onion, and you’ve got one terrific Greek-inspired feast.
4. Stuffed Taco Burgers
Can’t decide between tacos or burgers for dinner tonight? Why pick one when you can have both?
This food mashup brings the best of both worlds directly to your plate.
You get a juicy ground beef burger with lettuce and tomatoes. But you also get taco faves like salsa, guac, refried beans, and Mexican cheese.
All that may sound too hefty for a burger, which is why you’ll stuff the taco fixins inside!
5. Mushroom Stuffed Burgers
This stuffed creation takes everything you love about mushrooms in burgers and amps it up to eleven.
The ground beef patty is pretty simple with ketchup, onions, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Don’t skip out on the last two, as they’re key for keeping the burger intact.
But what makes it extra special are the sauteed mushrooms inside.
Toss it on the grill and add a big slice of Swiss cheese. Yum!
6. Fresh Mozzarella-Stuffed Pesto Burgers with Pesto-Mayo, Red Onion, Lettuce, & Tomato
Have you ever come across a burger so memorable that you can’t stop dreaming about it? For me, it’s this pesto burger.
It’s savory, fresh, cheesy, and completely irresistible.
On the inside, you have a thick slice of mozzarella cheese. On the outside, you have homemade pesto mayo, ripe tomato, and crisp lettuce all on a grilled Kaiser bun.
Meanwhile, the entire burger patty is infused with pesto.
Not good enough? Try adding Italian sausage to the patty!
7. Stuffed Pizza Burgers
Give the kids what they want for dinner and try these stuffed pizza burgers.
The filling is a fun combination of pepperoni, mustard, red sauce, and cheese. Seal them tight and toss them on the grill to char.
But don’t stop just yet! You’ll need another slice of cheese on top and a bit of extra pizza sauce on the buns.
8. Minted Lamb Burgers
Lamb burgers are a step up from beef, but they’re not beyond stuffing.
Between the lamb, feta, mint, garlic, and oregano, these babies are like an extra rich kebab.
Once those gorgeous patties have a nice char, plop them on a bun and slather on the homemade tzatziki.
It’s slightly more fancy than your average burger. But when you get to it, it’s still a burger.
So crack a cold one and enjoy!
9. Stuffed Burgers (Cheese and Bacon)
A bacon cheeseburger never disappoints, and neither does this stuffed version.
You’ll need to pre-cook and crumble the bacon. And for the best cheese pull, be sure to grate your own.
I like these with fresh tomato slices and jalapeños. But you can add your favorite burger toppings to make these your own.
10. Jalapeño Cheddar Burger
Speaking of jalapeños – if you like spicy food, you have to try this stuffed jalapeño cheddar burger.
It’s brimming with heat, not to mention flavor.
You’ll create the ultimate stuffed beef patty by combining jalapeños, cheddar, mustard, and more.
This burger is a little different, though. Instead of stuffing everything in the patty, you’ll mix it all right into the meat.
11. Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburgers
When it comes to burgers, bacon and cheese are a flawless duo. So why not stuff them inside?
Packing the burger with cheese means you get the perfect melt with less mess on the grill.
Adding bacon in there, too, is a no-brainer.
The whole process will take less than 15 minutes with a well-heated grill.
Make these for your next cookout and be sure to prep extra. I have a feeling your family will ask for seconds.
12. Stuffed Turkey Burgers with Spinach and Cheese
Love spinach dip? Stuff it inside a turkey burger!
This burger is oozing with frozen spinach and cream cheese, while the patty has hints of fresh herbs.
It’s healthy, fresh, lean, and only a tiny bit sinful.
Also, for those going keto or low carb, there are only 1.4 net carbs without a bun.
13. Cream Cheese Stuffed Burgers
Some stuffed burgers keep it simple with a bit of cheese. Others, like this one, are a little more lavish.
This colossal stuffed burger is insanely rich and wonderfully decadent. It uses cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon.
And you know what? It’s just waiting for you to take a bite
14. Mac and Cheese Stuffed Cheeseburger
You thought I was joking before, didn’t you? Mac and cheese in a burger?
I kid you not! And you need to try this!
Take a ground chuck patty and pack it full of creamy mac and cheese. Then, top it off with caramelized onions.
Sounds heavenly, huh?
Trust me; you haven’t lived until you’ve tried this crazy creation.
15. Caramelized Onion Stuffed Burgers
If you love caramelized onions as much as I do, you’ll be all about this stuffed burger.
Sweet and savory caramelized onions get smashed inside two thin ground beef patties to make a thick burger.
For seasoning the meat, you don’t need much. Just a quick trip to the pantry for some spices will do.
16. Chicken Burgers Stuffed with Blue Cheese & Buffalo Sauce
Stuffed burgers aren’t all beef and turkey. You can make a killer one with chicken too.
This satisfying burger is oozing with buffalo cheese sauce and stacked with fresh veggies.
While it comes with Ranch, I prefer blue cheese. It gives it more of that signature buffalo chicken wing effect, which nobody in my house can resist.
17. Bacon Weave Blue Cheese Burgers with Caramelized Onions
Take the title of grill master with this picture-perfect burger.
It begins with a weave of bacon, followed by a ridiculously juicy beef patty.
Next up is the sharp blue cheese, a mound of caramelized onions, fresh tomato, and lettuce.
It may seem unreal, but I assure you it exists.
18. Cobb Salad Burgers
Salad and burgers don’t always go together. In fact, I often take the lettuce out of mine.
But this cobb salad concoction is something you gotta try.
The patty has sharp and creamy blue brie melted inside. Meanwhile, the bun is piled to the heavens with hard-boiled egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
And, wait for it, it’s all smothered in blue cheese dressing! So open wide, because this is quite a mouthful!
19. Air Fryer Burgers Stuffed with Cheese (Juicy Lucy)
If an easy bombalicious burger is what you want, that’s what you’ll get with Juicy Lucy.
While the verdict is still out on who invented stuffed burgers, we do know one thing: Juicy Lucy sparked a trend.
It features two ground beef patties with cheese stuffed in between. Use the Air Fryer, and it couldn’t be any easier.
20. Black and Blue Burgers
Let’s just marvel at this black and blue burger for a second. It’s savory, flavorsome, and perfectly stuffed.
The sharp blue cheese filling is incredibly complementary to the blackened seasoned patty. Add bacon to the mix and it’s a win-win all around.
You can’t go wrong with the classic combo of ketchup and mayo for the condiments.
However, you can also get creative and try it with Thousand Island dressing or Sriracha mayo if you like.
After all, it’s a stuffed burger. You’re allowed to think outside the box.
