How to Make Barbecued Olive And Pesto Burgers
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (roughly chopped), 1/4 cup pesto, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers.
- Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly brush both sides of the patties with olive oil.
- Place the burgers on the preheated grill. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the burgers are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving on your favorite buns with your choice of toppings.
