“We’ve been making these refreshing burgers for years,” Jill Christopher explains from Grants Pass, Oregon. “Served on onion rolls with cream cheese and avocado on top, they’re a nice change from the regular cheeseburger. Everybody asks for them when we barbecue.”
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
4 onion rolls, split and toasted
4 slices red onion
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
2. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
3. Spread cream cheese over cut side of roll tops. Place burgers, onion and avocado on roll bottoms; replace tops. Yield: 4 servings.
