Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (85 percent lean or less)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill
- 4 ounces manchego, sliced
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 2 cups watercress (1/2 bunch)
- 3/4 cups sliced roasted red peppers
Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high. Form the beef into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty. (This will prevent overplumping during cooking.) Season with a total of ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill and cook the patties with the wells facing up for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155° F for medium, 4 to 5 minutes more, topping the burgers with the manchego during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, split the bread lengthwise and brush the cut sides with the oil; grill until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Rub the cut sides of the bread with the garlic. Cut the bread into quarters and form sandwiches with the watercress, burgers, and red peppers.

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
