Savory, smoky, and lightly spicy wholesome Red Pepper & Kale Beef Burgers w/ Grilled Onions & Goat Cheese that hit you in the face with a blast of delicious spring-time flavor. WHOA!
These Red Pepper & Kale Beef Burgers are NOT EVEN playing. They have epic written all over them! It’s like having your favorite ball-park menu item at home and fresh off of the grill with a foodie twist!
Now I KNOW some of you wonderful people are big baseball fans! I remember the first time Cody took me to a baseball game. It’s actually a pretty sad/hilarious story. He only took me because he knew I would love the fireworks at the end (OOOH pretty colors!). Long story short, he had unintentionally hyped up this “surprise date” to the point where I thought we were going to ride horses in a magical kingdom filled with unicorns and fairies. Granted, that’s not really his fault because I admittedly have a crazy imagination and basically live in a castle in my mind. But when we arrived at a baseball game, I was….let’s just say… a little shocked. But we ended up having fun in the end, and I remember telling him that all I wanted was some ballpark food! Some days, you just want a little bit of a splurge!
When it comes to ballpark food, these Red Pepper & Kale Beef Burgers hit the spot! With a wholesome addition, why of course. I don’t even have words to describe the delicious, rich, real wood flavor that Kingsford® Charcoal gives these burgers. SO good!
And for those of you who are currently drooling at the thought of these burgers and ballpark food in general, you’ve GOT to head over to the Kingsford® Charcoal website and get in on the petition to #Take Back Opening Day! Opening day used to be a day long, baseball-filled phenomenon that is now spread across two nights and days. Let’s take it back by signing the petition to have one ginormous, glorious Opening Day in 2017! K? K!
Need a little inspiration? Watch this hilarious angry, sad, or disgusted rendition of the beloved baseball anthem by Johnny Bench! And then come back here cause we still have to make these burgers!
A few notes about these UHmazing Red Pepper & Kale Beef Burgers: Feel free to adjust this recipe as needed! When I made these I ate one on a whole wheat bun, but the next day I ate it wrapped in kale instead. 
There are lots of options, here! The nutrition facts for this recipe depend on what products you buy at the store, but they DO include the whole wheat bun (and really everything you see in the ingredients list).
Let’s get grilling, friends!
