O'Brien Burger
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
4 burgers
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 lb 95% lean ground beef
- 1 1⁄2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed, divided (I like Ore-Ida)
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 1 cup thickly-sliced bell pepper (any combination of green, red, yellow or orange)
- 4 hamburger buns, split
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
directions
- Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300 degrees F to 350 degrees F). In a medium bowl combine ground beef, 1/2 cup of the hash browns, plus salt and pepper to taste; mix well. Form into 4 patties about 1/2 inch thick.
- Grill patties 5 to 7 minutes per side or to desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each patty with 1 cheese slice; grill until melted. Meanwhile, grill peppers 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly charred, turning occasionally.
- Prepare remaining 1 cup hash browns in a skillet according to package directions, forming potatoes into four patties.
- Place rolls, cut-side down, on grill. Grill until lightly toasted. To assemble burgers, place lettuce on bottom half of rolls, top with burgers, peppers and hash brown patties, and serve.
- Note # 1: Seems any type of cheese would work well with this. Since Swiss isn't a favorite of mine, I'll probably try it with Cheddar, Colby-Jack or American.
- Note # 2: This sounds as though it would make a mighty fine "Breakfast Burger" with a few modifications. Maybe by leaving off the lettuce and adding a few strips of cooked bacon and a fried egg instead? (Well, we ARE using lean ground beef to compensate, no?).

I love to try new recipes and mainly look for ones that are new and different, such as a twist on an old favorite or something no one's ever thought of! I also enjoy writing in my spare time. I live in Northeast Ohio where the weather isn't the greatest, humid in the summer and cold winters- but it has been nice growing up by the lake! I own two wonderful cats who can be quite a handful at times, but my fiancee and I couldn't live without them!
