If you have a lot of basil, as I did, making this easy recipe will serve you and your family well. Feel free to check out our pesto burger recipe and try it today.

Here is a photo of the ingredients for this recipe.


Measure out all the ingredients. Measuring them out into bowls will make it easier when you are ready to blend them.

Then, clean the basil, and squeeze it dry to remove excess water. Add basil to a blender or food processor.

Next, add walnuts, garlic, salt, pepper, DF parmigiana, and lemon juice. Add the olive oil slowly until mixed.


Scrape down the sides and mix again until turned into a loose paste. **You may need more olive oil.

In a large bowl, scoop out one quarter or one-half cup of the pesto and mix it with the ground beef.

Make 4 burgers and place them on a plate. Store the rest in a container with a lid in the fridge for later.


**You can use less pesto if you want in your burgers.

Here is the final picture. These burgers are heavy, so ensure you have seasoned cast iron or a nonstick pan. You can also place them on the grill.

Here's a video of the entire dish.
