How to Make Basil Mozzarella Burgers
- **Make the Relish:** Combine red bell pepper, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
- **Prepare the Burger Patties:** In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped onion, bread crumbs, and green bell pepper.
- Add ketchup, horseradish, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well.
- Add the ground beef and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties (about 3/4 inch thick).
- **Grill the Burgers:** Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill patties for 7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- **Toast the Buns:** Lightly toast the whole wheat buns.
- **Assemble the Burgers:** Place the cooked patties on the toasted buns. Top with a generous spoonful of the chilled red sweet pepper relish and fresh basil leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
