How to Make Best Ever Hamburgers

1. Blend 1 red bell pepper, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), and 1/4 cup pesto until completely smooth.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the vegetable mixture with 1.5 lbs ground beef. Avoid overmixing.
3. Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
4. Cover and refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes (this helps them hold their shape during cooking).
5. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with 1 slice of your favorite cheese and cook until melted.
6. While the patties cook, grill 1 red onion, thinly sliced, and 2 large tomatoes, sliced, on the BBQ until the onion is lightly browned and the tomatoes are charred on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
7. Split the hamburger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.
8. Spread a generous amount of avocado dressing (see recipe below) on the bottom bun halves. Add a handful of mesclun lettuce, a grilled patty, grilled red onion, and grilled tomato slices.
9. Drizzle the remaining avocado dressing over the top of the burgers.
10. **Avocado Dressing:** Blend 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste until smooth.
