Making Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Smash Burgers is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to create your delicious burgers:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Form Beef Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a ball without overworking the meat.
3. Create a Well: Using your thumb or a spoon, create a well in the center of each beef ball. This is where you will stuff the filling.
4. Stuff the Patties: Fill each well with about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and artichoke mixture. Carefully fold the beef around the filling to encase it, then gently flatten the ball into a patty, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
5. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
6. Cook the Patties: Once the skillet is hot, add the stuffed patties. Smash them down with a spatula to create a crust. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the beef is well done and the filling is hot and bubbly.
8. Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet until golden brown.
9. Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce and tomato, if desired.
10. Serve: Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while hot.

These step-by-step instructions will guide you in crafting these incredible burgers effortlessly, ensuring a delicious meal every time.
