Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup minced green onions
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• salt and pepper
• 4 slices rustic crusty bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
• olive oil

Two-Tomato Relish

• 3 cups chopped red tomatoes
• 2 cups chopped yellow tomatoes
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper

Instructions

Combine Two-Tomato Relish ingredients in medium bowl; set aside.

Combine ground beef, cheese, green onions and garlic in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.

Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11-13 minutes to medium doneness (160°F), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. Season patties with salt and pepper, as desired.

Meanwhile, brush both sides of bread slices with oil. About 3 minutes before burgers are done, place bread on grid. Grill until lightly toasted, turning once.

Place one burger on each bread slice; top each with 1/4 cup Two-Tomato Relish. Serve open-faced.

Suggestions

Ensure 160°F internal temperature for burgers by using a meat thermometer.
