These burgers are a delightful twist on the classic, featuring sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil for a burst of flavor.
Chop the fresh basil and jalapeno finely.
Using fresh herbs enhances the flavor significantly.
Mix the chopped basil and jalapeno with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
Chilling the dressing allows the flavors to meld together.
Combine the ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Form the mixture into six equal-sized patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Grill the patties over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are cooked to a safe temperature.
Serve the patties on buns with the prepared dressing and your choice of greens.
Add your favorite toppings like cheese, onions, or pickles for extra flavor.
