Description: These BBQ Watercress Pesto Burgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger. Start by preparing the watercress pesto (recipe #88487) as the flavorful base for your burger. While the original recipe suggests forming four patties from a pound of meat, I prefer crafting three hearty patties instead, which are perfect for a satisfying meal. Customize your burger with a variety of toppings such as sliced tomatoes, sweet onions, cheese, and mushrooms, or simply drizzle on the vibrant watercress pesto for an ultimate flavor experience.
