Makes 12 burgers.
3 lbs lean ground beef (not previously frozen!)
3 bread slices, crumbed (white or brown bread is fine)
2 onions, chopped
3 eggs
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
6 tbsp pesto
3 garlic cloves, minced
Optional Basil Mayo for serving day (enough for 4 burgers)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp pesto
In a large bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, cheese, pesto and garlic, mixing well. Add ground beef, stirring until fully combined. Divide into 12 and make 12 burgers (about 5" in diameter), making sure to depress the center of each slightly. Flash freeze on cookie sheet, then transfer into freezer ziploc bag container. Or seperate each with wax/parchment paper, and freeze stacked.
On serving day: Remove burgers from freezer the night before or morning of serving, and allow to defrost in refrigerator. Cook on grill (indoor or outdoor) until center of burgers reach a temperature of 160F. Serve with basil mayonaise (mixing mayo and pesto together) on a bun with your choice of burger toppings.
