Apple & Cheddar Beef Burgers

Ingredients

3/4 pound 90% lean ground grass-fed beef
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
2 ounces sharp cheddar, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (I used mild)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded peeled Granny Smith apple

Method

Combine beef, onion, cheddar, mustard, salt, pepper and apple in a large bowl and form into four (4-inch) patties. Grill over medium heat or broil, flipping once, until done to your taste, 6 to 8 minutes. Or, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and cook over medium heat, 6 to 8 minutes.

I made this tonight! Thanks for the great recipe! I was amazed that the burger had so much flavor that I didn't even want to add ketchup.

It was a hit tonight! Granted, I preferred it with a little avocado and tomato, but it was very tasty!!
