Serves 6
Time 35 min
Beefy burgers stuffed with sautéed onions and bell peppers are ideal for the summer grilling season. Toast the buns on the grill, too, if you like.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 tablespoons ketchup or chile sauce
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
- 6 thick slices sharp Cheddar
- 6 hamburger buns
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 6 butter lettuce leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and pepper and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
In another bowl, combine beef, eggs, Worcestershire, salt and pepper.
Mix lightly and shape into 12 thin patties.
Spoon onion and pepper mixture onto centers of 6 patties and top each with 2 tablespoons ketchup or chili sauce and a bit of oregano.
Cover with remaining patties and pinch the sides securely closed; place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
Grill burgers until cooked to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium.
Top with a slice of cheese when you're just about done; cover the grill to melt the cheese.
Serve burger on bun with tomatoes, lettuce and the condiments of your choice.
