Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning see note
- 3-4 ounces provolone cheese or mozarella
- ½ cup pizza sauce

Instructions
- Mix the seasoning with the beef.
- Divide ground beef into 4 pieces for 4 burgers. Divide each section into two and form a top and bottom patty for each burger.
- Place cheese in the center of 4 patties, avoiding the edges. Top these with the 4 remaining patties, herb-side in. Crimp edges to seal. Optionally, place patties in the freezer for a few minutes while pan heats.
- Heat a large skillet until drops of water sizzle when sprinkled inside. Cook patties until brown on bottom, then flip and continue cooking until inside of patties reaches 165 F on an instant read thermometer, about 5 minutes per side.
