Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Green pesto
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 cup Sliced green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Sliced pickles
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 whole Brioche burger buns
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your desired level. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, prepare the avocado topping. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until slightly chunky. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a handful of arugula, a slice of green bell pepper, and a few pickle slices.
Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the layered toppings. Add a generous dollop of the mashed avocado on each patty.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Green Eyed Monster Burgers with your favorite side dishes!
