Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix green olives, black olives, carrot, capers, and olive oil. Stir and set aside.
- Season ground beef with salt, pepper, and all-purpose seasoning. Divide each patty into two thin halves.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the olive mixture and 2 tablespoons mozzarella on one half, then cover with the other half and seal edges tightly.
