"To Die For Burgers" that are actually pretty good :)

Jason had been talking about wanting to make burgers for a while. Apparently he's a real burger man and I didn't know it. So, after school yesterday I was getting ideas for dinner and typed into Google "Best recipe ever have to try" to see what would come up. First I found a good taco seasoning that I want to try soon. But then burger recipes came up and I thought it was worth browsing, remembering that said boyfriend had been craving them. :)

What drew me to this recipe were the unusual ingredients. I was immediately drawn to the garlic included in the meat as well as the roasted bell peppers and avocado.

Avocado and Peppers on a burger? Delicious!

According to the website, this burger recipe was included in a contest and didn't win, but turned out to be popular. Makes 4 quarter pound burgers, and only takes about 30 minutes to prepare and grill.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced (I got to try out my new garlic press, wow, does it make using garlic easy!)
Montreal Steak Seasoning (from McCormick)
Avocado slices
Roasted bell peppers
Red onion (optional) 

Directions:
Mix the meat with the onion, garlic, and seasoning. Form into four patties.

If only we had a grill... We put ours on the George Foreman for 8 minutes. The burgers turned out perfectly juicy but still done all the way through.

Place the burger on the roll, we used regular wheat rolls and that tasty, and then add the avocado and peppers to preference. I also added Swiss cheese.

Recommendation: YES!
Overall, it was a delicious twist to the burgers. I had the avocado-pepper burger, and Jason had one made into a deluxe regular cheeseburger. He thoroughly enjoyed both and said it was the best burger he'd had in a long while. :)We'll definitely prepare the patties with garlic, onion and seasoning every time we make burgers. That was delicious all by itself.

I would definitely make this again for the two of us, since it wasn't too much food but still enough for leftovers, and it was easy and a quick meal. However, it would also be awesome for a party and offer the avocado and peppers along with the regular "fixings" to mix things up a bit!

I have more recipes for the blog world, but I'll have to do it later. My latest favorite show, Lie to Me, is on right now! ;)
