Dry pesto sauce mix can be found with the other sauce mixes, usually in the pasta aisle of your supermarket.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1-1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • .5 oz. pkg. dry pesto sauce mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 English muffins, split with a fork
  • lettuce
  • sliced tomatoes

PREPARATION:

Prepare and heat grill. Combine ground beef and pesto sauce with 1 Tbsp. water and mix gently. Shape into 8 thin patties. Place 4 patties on platter and top each with 2 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella cheese and a bit of Parmesan cheese. Top with remaining patties and press edges to seal.

Grill patties 4-6' from heat and cook 11-13 minutes until meat is no longer pink in center, or reaches 160 degrees on a meat thermometer (be sure you're not checking the cheese temperature in the center). Turn burgers only once, and very carefully. You can grill the English muffins until golden brown and toasted while burgers are cooking. Top with purchased pesto sauce, lettuce and tomato and serve on buns. 4 burgers
