Ingredients

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet.

Divide each beef portion into 2 equal amounts and shape them into patties (you should have 4 patties altogether). Place 2 mozzarella slices on 1 patty, then top with another patty. Close the edges of the patties to enclose the cheese, basically stuffing the burger with the mozzarella. Wrap each burger with 2 slices of pancetta.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium oven-proof skillet over medium heat and brown each burger on both sides. Place the burgers in the oven to finish cooking.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and remove from heat. Meanwhile, chop the garlic and basil and add to butter with 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Brush this on the burger buns and toast under the broiler or in a toaster oven.

In a bowl, toss together the arugula, olive oil, to taste, and the remaining 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.

Place the burgers on the bun bottoms, top with tomato slices, arugula salad and Basil Ketchup.

    I just finished dinner and can say without hesitation that the burger was fantastic! I did make a few variations that worked well: I chose not to use the pancetta to wrap around the burgers -- they still held together and cooked beautifully; I used half butter, half olive oil for the garlic bread which was delish; I cooked the burgers on the barbeque instead of on the stove and in the oven. All three changes turned out great! Instead of regular hamburger buns, I took a loaf of ciabatta and cut it into bun-sized pieces. Everyone loved it! The only down side to the recipe (which is why I dinged it a star is that mozzarella (fresh or more processed does not melt very well and gets stringy when heated. That being said, I will certainly make this recipe again. Enjoy!

    My entire family LOVED this burger... although I substituted spinach for arugala because I had it on hand...and I did see some spinach being hidden in napkins by the kids. The instructions for cooking are a bit vague... we put it in a 350 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes. This was perfection with the basil and garlic on the roll...I did halve the amount of butter for the garlic bread. We are thinking of a way to make these into meatballs for a cocktail party. OMG YUM!
