Renee Behnkes Burgers Pacifica
Ingredients
  • 2 - 3 Anaheim peppers
  • 1/4 cup  finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons  soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 pounds  lean ground beef
  • 3 ounces  dry Monterey Jack cheese, shaved, or Monterey Jack cheese, sliced.
  • 4 sesame hamburger buns
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
  • Assorted condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise, catsup, tomatoes, lettuce, and/or pickles
Directions

1. Place peppers on a grill rack directly over medium heat; grill, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until charred, turning frequently. Wrap peppers in foil or place in a clean paper bag; set aside until cool enough to handle (about 10 minutes). Peel peppers; remove and discard stems, seeds, and membranes. Finely chop peppers.

2. Combine the peppers, onion, and soy sauce in a large mixing bowl; add beef and mix well. Shape mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch thick.

3. Place burger patties on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 18 to 23 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in centers registers 160 degree F, turning burgers once halfway through grilling. Top with cheese slices the last 5 minutes of grilling.

4. Toast buns, if desired. Place burgers on buns. Top with avocado and desired condiments. Makes 4 burgers.

From the Test KitchenTest Kitchen Tip:
  • Use ripe Haas avocados (with dark, pebbly skin). Avocados turn brown once cut, so use right after slicing.
