Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 1/4 pounds ground chuck
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 9 small ciabatta rolls, sliced in 1/2
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 9 slices (4 1/2 ounces) Taleggio cheese
- 9 large basil leaves
Directions
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the ground chuck, Parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Pulse until ingredients are combined. Form the mixture into 9 patties. Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side.
Brush the cut sides of each roll with the olive oil and toast on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly golden.
To serve, place 1 mini burger on the bottom half of each of the rolls. Place 1 slice of Taleggio cheese on top of the burgers. Place the basil leaf on top of the cheese and cover with the top half. Serve.

I was watching her show when she was making these and they look absolutely fabulous, so I skipped the ribs and made these for supper instead. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I cooked a litle too long so they were a little dry but that's may fault, they were still amazing! I've cooked these multiple times since then and they only get better and better and people love them!
What I usually do is mix the meat ahead of time and let it sit for an hour or so. I don't put my meat in the food processor, I just use my hands to mix it up. But don't overwork the meat. I also add little olive oil to the meat mixture. I use fresh mozzerella instead of the other cheese, I couldn't find the other one in the store. The fresh mozzerella is amazing on it! The burgers are even better the next day!

These were easy to make and tasted delicious. We modified by using mozzarella cheese on top. The extra salt was not needed.

Sounds like(and I saw the show like a great meatball recipe.....but BURGERS, NO!.......You can't put meat in a food machine nor should you chill the burgers to grill..............Hands only and limited meat folding.....room temp for burgers to the grill......C'mon.here......these were a part of your own FN tips....ask Bobby.
