Ingredients

Kale Beef Patties

1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup minced onion
1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 cup very finely chopped kale
salt/pepper to taste

Creamy Sriracha Sauce

1/2 cup light mayo
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 Tablespoon sriracha

Burgers

4 medium whole wheat burger buns
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 medium red bell peppers, sliced
4 large kale leaves, stems removed
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl.
Cover and let marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Massage the large kale leaves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt, then set aside.
While the burgers marinate, grill or saute the red onion and bell peppers with the remaining tablespoon of oil until lightly charred. Set aside.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the burgers into 4 evenly-sized patties and flatten them with your hands.
Add to your grill or use a greased cast iron skillet to cook on both sides until cooked through (about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on how you want them cooked).
Assemble the burgers with the hamburger bums, veggies, sauce, and patties. Enjoy!
