Ingredients
½ large red bell pepper
1 tsp. Fresh Thyme extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1½ lb. Fresh Thyme 85% lean ground beef
4 slices havarti cheese, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Fresh Thyme Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. Fresh Thyme organic ground black pepper
2 (½ inch) slices red onion, for topping
Burger buns (split and toasted)
Tomato slices
Watercress, arugula, or other leafy green of choice
Barbecue sauce
and/or ketchup
Directions
- Preheat grill for direct cooking over high heat (400°F). Brush pepper with ½ tsp. oil. Grill, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and charred, turning occasionally. Transfer to a glass bowl; cover tightly and let stand 10 minutes.
- Peel and discard skin from pepper. Chop to make ⅓ cup. In a bowl, gently combine meat, roasted pepper, cheese, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to slightly indent the center of each patty, which prevents the middle from puffing while cooking.
- Adjust grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350°F). Brush onions with remaining ½ tsp. oil. Grill patties and onions, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, until burgers are medium doneness (160°F) and onions are tender, turning burgers once and onions occasionally.
- Serve burgers with grilled onions in toasted buns with additional toppers and condiments.
