These Stovetop burgers are made by layering grilled beef burger patties with my delicious hummus and red cabbage slaw, sandwiched in a buttery Brioche Burger Bun, these burgers explode with flavor. Whether for a laid-back summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner, its delightful taste requires minimal prep time.
Chop the veg. Pulse the onions and bell peppers in a blender for a few seconds until they become finely chopped. Note: If you don't have a blender, finely chop the vegetables by hand.
Mix up the meat. Place the ground beef in a medium bowl. Add the spices, blended vegetables, salt, and pepper to your taste.
Make the patties. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients by kneading the minced meat well with your hands. Form the mixture into 4 burger patties and set them aside.
Cook the hamburgers on the stove. Heat a grilled pan over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon of your preferred cooking oil.
Cook the burgers until they are done, adjusting the heat if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for the same duration on the other side. Just before removing the burgers from the pan after flipping, place cheddar cheese on top to allow it to melt slightly.
Toppings: Cabbage and pickles. Combine the cabbage and parsley in a small bowl. Add salt and olive oil according to your taste preferences. Mix thoroughly. Slice the pickles into rounds or slices.
Toast the buns. Slice the burger buns in half and toast them in the same pan where you cooked the beef burgers.
Assemble burgers. Spread hummus on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with cabbage, pickles, and a beef burger.
Top with the other half of the burger bun and serve alongside extra pickles.
Enjoy your stovetop burgers!

Here's a guideline to help you estimate cooking times, but always use a thermometer to check for proper doneness:
For Medium-Rare: Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C).
For Medium: Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 140-145°F (60-63°C).
For Medium-Well: Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 150-155°F (66-68°C).
For Well-Done: Cook the burgers for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), as recommended by the FDA.
