Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1-1/2 cups zucchini, (peeled & shredded)
  • 1 lb. extra lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup red onion, (chopped)
  • 1-2 jalapenos, (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2-4 oz. blue cheese, (crumbled)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Whole wheat buns
  • Garnishes: Grilled onions, (bacon, lettuce and tomato (optional))

Instruction

  • Shred zucchini and place between paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Place all ingredients other than buns and garnishes in a bowl and mix with your hand. 
  • Form into 6 hamburgers. 
  • Place in refrigerator for 2-4 hours to firm so they hold their shape during cooking.
  • Preheat grill. 
  • If grilling onions, slice in thick slices, spray grill with nonstick cooking spray, sprinkle rings with a little olive oil and cook alongside hamburgers. 
  • Cook hamburgers for 5-7 minutes per side. If you are topping with additional blue cheese, place on top of the burgers in the last minute or two and wait until melted. 
  • Serve on whole wheat buns topped with grilled onions, lettuce and tomato.
