Peppered Burgers With Avocado

Sandi (From CA)'s Note:

The avocado/sour cream/lemon "dressing" on this delicious burger gives it a uniquely fresh taste. The pepper refers to both red bell and cracked black pepper. No need to dress this burger with anything else (including salt); there's TONS of flavor here! The ingredients originally called for 400 grams of beef mince and 100 grams of sausage mince, but I’ve converted it to approximate lbs. This is adapted from the Vegemite Cook Book... but I used Marmite for the burgers in the photo. So sue me! ;)
