Provolone Pepper Burgers

My last post was about the Grilled Sweet Corn, which you can see in the above picture with the amazing burgers that we also fixed!

I have only fixed my own burgers a few times. The first time I made my own burgers, it was a pretty terrible disaster and they ended up falling apart on the grill. It was so sad! That was a few years ago. I now have this fear of my burgers falling apart on the grill every time I make my own patties. BUT, last night was a success! Just follow the recipe and you'll be good to go!

These burgers were very tasty! I loved the cubes of provolone cheese in the burger. YUM! Next time, I will probably not put as much onion into the mixture though. I felt like the onion flavor was a little much, and took away from the flavor of the roasted red peppers. Still a tasty burger!

A note from the cookbook: Use a 1/2-cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop to make equal size patties. Gently form each portion into a patty. For moist, light-textured burgers, don't overmix or overhandle the meat mixture.

Enjoy!
