Before making the burger patties, preheat your grill for medium to hot direct grilling. You’ll want to maintain a constant grill temperature of 400°F to 450°F. To make four servings, form 1 pound of ground beef (preferably 85% lean ground beef) into patties and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
Swirl 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Layer half of a sliced onion and half of a sliced sweet bell pepper in the skillet and place skillet on the hot grill surface. Cook until the vegetables are sizzling in the oil. Stir the vegetables and continue cooking, stirring often, until they are soft.
Meanwhile, cook burgers according to the directions below. When ready, top the burgers with the peppers and onions, dividing them evenly among all four patties. Then top each burger with three slices of Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese or 1 Year Cheddar, Extra Sharp Cheddar Cracker Cuts and cover the grill to cook burgers until they reach the preferred level of doneness and until the cheese is melted. Serve on buns with a side of fries, macaroni salad, or potato salad. Enjoy!
