Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 brioche burger buns
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, or bacon

How to Make Cheesy Chocolate Chip Burger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the chocolate chips. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them carefully. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each patty, then cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the burgers reach your desired doneness.
5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add any additional toppings you desire, then place the top bun on.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and savory explosion of flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use high-quality ground beef for the juiciest burgers.
• Don’t overmix the meat; this helps keep the patties tender.
• Adjust the amount of chocolate chips based on your sweetness preference.
• For an extra kick, consider adding a spicy aioli or jalapeños as a topping.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar cheese for blue cheese for a bolder flavor.
• Use turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter version.
• Add a drizzle of barbecue sauce for a sweet and tangy twist.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate, like dark or white chocolate chips.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the burger.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a classic summer side.
• Onion rings for an extra crispy treat.
