Burger Time (recipe)

A few years ago I was tired of eating the same burger - ketchup, mustard, dill relish , onions and cheese. A good classic burger I know but it gets boring after awhile. I needed to step it up a bit so this is what I came up with and I have been dedicated to this burger since. Sometimes I grill it and sometimes I cook it stove top in a pan. I just made it an hour ago for my lunch and I only had half of it, it's a big burger with big taste.

What's it called... Pesto & Roasted Red Pepper Burger

** Makes two burgers for two people... unless you're really hungry.

Ingredients

½ lb ground beef 85/15 ... fat is good., form into two patties , grill or pan fry
1 TB of Montreal Steak Seasoning
½ cup mayonnaise
4 Tb of prepared pesto
roasted red pepper, cut into strips
4 slices of Basil Havarti cheese ( I buy it at Albertsons, haven't seen it anywhere else)
Sesame or Poppyseed bun

How To :

- Mix mayo and pesto sauce
- Form beef into patties and sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning, cook until medium doneness
- Spread pesto mayo on bottom and underside of top, place slice of Basil Havarti on bottom bun, then beef patty, another slice of the cheese, and top with slices of red pepper.



Enjoy every bite !

Confession: I have roasted the red pepper in the past and you can certainly do this, as well as the pesto... knock yourself out with doing it homemade style. But when I crave this burger, it's an impulse to make it and the quicker the better so I buy a jar of roasted red peppers.
