Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Burger buns or sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper and onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onions are softened and caramelized. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently, taking care not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the size of your bread or bun.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for medium doneness.
Top each burger patty with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese during the last minute of cooking. Cover the grill or use a lid to help melt the cheese. Once melted, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest.
Butter one side of each slice of bread or the insides of the buns. Toast the bread/buns on a skillet or grill pan over medium heat until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the non-buttered side of the bread/buns. Place a grilled cheeseburger patty on one piece of bread/bun, top with the caramelized peppers and onions, and then place the second piece of bread/bun on top to form a sandwich.
Slice in half if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides. Enjoy your Grilled Monterey Burger Melt!
