Homemade Burgers
Ingredients
-
1 lb. ground meat [turkey, beef, bison, chicken]
-
1 bell pepper, minced
-
1 onion, minced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 egg, beaten
-
½ cup bread crumbs
-
½ cup Parmesan cheese
-
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp. salt
-
1 tsp. pepper
Directions
In a food processor, place your roughly chopped bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Pulse briefly. (If you’d like to omit this step, you can just finely chop your vegetables instead of using food processor)
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients [ground meat, minced bell pepper, onion, and garlic, beaten egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire, salt and pepper.] Combine well with your hands.
Form patties out of ground meat mixture. Typically, 1 lb. of meat makes 4-6 burger patties.
To grill, place raw burger patties right on the grill. Close the lid and let cook for 4-6 minutes. Flip burgers, close lid, and let grill for another 4-6 minutes. Check for doneness and cook more if necessary, however, should take no more than 10-15 minutes total.
Enjoy between a freshly baked hamburger bun and your favorite toppings. Try marinated tomatoes, pickled onions, or try Basil Guacamole (see recipe)!
