Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into rings
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise
- 2 large bell peppers, quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently without overworking the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while grilling.
On another plate, toss the red onion rings, zucchini slices, and bell pepper quarters with olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the burger patties and the vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (recommended internal temperature of 160°F).
Flip the vegetables halfway through grilling (around 5 minutes) or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove and keep warm in foil if done before the burgers.
In the last minute of cooking the burgers, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
To assemble each burger, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of the bun. Top it with the grilled patty and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve the grilled burgers with the cooked vegetables on the side. Enjoy your delicious meal!
