Main Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 romaine lettuce leaves
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
8 slices sourdough bread (about 4 x 3 x 1/2-inch)
olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, cut lengthwise into quarters
Directions:
- Combine ground beef, minced garlic, salt and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties, shaping to fit the bread slices.
- Place patties on grid over medium ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160 degrees) doneness, until beef is not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil. Place bread around outer edge of grid. Grill until lightly toasted, turning once. Remove bread from grid; rub both sides of each slice with a garlic quarter.
- Place one lettuce leaf on four of the crostini; top each with a burger. Sprinkle evenly with cheese; cover with remaining crostini. Makes 4 servings.
Recipe Tips:
- Cook ground beef patties, loaves, and meatballs to an internal temperature of 160 degrees (medium doneness), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally to check the temperature.
