Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons dried oregano
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 4 freshs hamburger buns

Instructions

1. 1 Combine beef, tomato paste, salt, sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors marry, about 4 hours.
2. 2 Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each of 4 patties; leave at least a 1/2-inch border, breaking up the cheese as needed. Place remaining patties on top and pinch edges to seal in the cheese.
3. 3 Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry burgers until browned and centers reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 6 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on buns.
