Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 medium avocado peeled, cored, and sliced, Hass variety
  • 1 medium zucchini finely grated and drained
  • 1 small carrot peeled and finely grated
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms minced
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoons yellow onion minced finely
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 regular Hamburger Bun standard-size hamburger buns or 8 mini-hamburger buns
  • 4 pieces lettuce leaves
  • 2 medium heirloom tomatoes cored and sliced, yellow variety

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, zucchini, carrot, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, oregano, and salt.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 full patties or 8 kid-size patties. You can choose to grill the patties or freeze them by placing them in an airtight container with parchment between each patty so they don’t stick together.
  3. In a grill pan over medium-high heat, cook the burgers a few at a time, leaving some space in between, until the top of the patty starts to darken in color. Flip and cook for a few minutes longer. Do not press on the patty while it’s cooking or the juices will run out. You can also grill on a grill over medium heat.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on each bun.
  5. Assemble the burgers in this order: bun, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, burger, avocado, bun. Enjoy!
