Cheeseburgers just like Mom makes them 
Ingredients
For the patties:
500g ground beef
, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, queso fresco, or melting cheese, cubed or grated,
1 egg
, 1/4 finely chopped onion,
2 minced or crushed garlic cloves
, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or ground oats,
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
, 1 teaspoon mustard (optional),
1/2 teaspoon cumin
, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, annatto, or paprika powder,
salt and pepper to taste,
oil for frying.
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and mustard (if using).
Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until you have a smooth, moist, and firm meat mixture. It should be manageable, not too runny.
Take a portion of the mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a cube or a little mozzarella cheese in the center. Cover with more meat and seal well, forming a round, slightly thick patty.
