Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef

Instructions:

Mix the lean ground beef, brewed coffee, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, diced onion, salt, and black pepper in a bowl

Cut the mixture into four equal parts and use your hands to form them into burger patties

Warm up your grill or griddle on the stove over medium-high heat and oil it so that food doesn't stick

Cook the coffee-marinated burger patties on the grill or griddle for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare burgers

You can change the cooking time to get the level of doneness you like

Put a slice of cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking so it melts

Toast the whole wheat burger buns briefly on the grill or in a toaster while the burgers are cooking

Put lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom bun of each burger to make it

Place the cooked burger patty that has been marinated in coffee on top

Then, add any toppings you like

To finish the burger, put the top bun on top of the toppings

Feel free to serve your Coffee-Marinated Burger hot and enjoy!
