Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 2 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, toss the zucchini rounds, red bell pepper strips, and portobello mushrooms with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the burger patties and the prepared vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until grill marks appear, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached (internal temperature of 160°F for well-done).

Step 6

Grill the vegetables simultaneously, flipping occasionally until they are tender and charred, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

If using cheese, add a slice to each burger patty during the last minute of cooking, closing the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by layering each bun with a lettuce leaf, a grilled patty, a slice of tomato, and your preferred condiments like Dijon mustard or ketchup.

Step 10

Serve the grilled burgers alongside the charred garden vegetables for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
