Bump up the veg in this burger to add even more zing.
Make the apple cider vinegar work double duty and quick-pickle cucumber with the red onion.
Thinly slice two or three small seedless cucumbers (Persian cucumbers) and add to the vinegar-onion mixture.
Form 4 to 6 patties from meat.
so they cook through quickly.
Place patties on grill or grill pan.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on how large your patties are.
While patties are cooking, slice onion into rings.
You want them to be fairly thin, but dont stress over it.
Break onion rings apart and put them in a bowl with vinegar and a dash of salt.
ensure rings are fully submerged (add more vinegar if needed).
Let sit for at least 5 minutes.
When patties are about 1 minute from being done, flip them again so hot side is facing up.
Top with 1 or 2 slices of cheese.
Place on buns with lettuce, if desired.
Top with onions and peppers.
