Step 1: Chop all the vegetables into small ½" cubes. It's important that they're all uniform size so that they cook evenly.

Step 2: In a large pot, add olive oil and saute and soft and translucent. This usually takes about 20 minutes on medium heat.

Step 3: Cook rice. We love this with white rice cooked in the Instant Pot.

Step 4: Serve with rice and enjoy!

Hint: leave a useful hint here, like let the grill run for 4-5 minutes to burn off any remnants, then clean it. I like to use this bristle-free barbecue brush (affiliate link) for cleaning the grill.

Substitutions

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don't fake it - only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

Lettuce - instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
Bun - use gluten free buns instead of white bread buns to make this gluten free
Vegetarian - the beef hamburger can be replaced with a plant-based burger to make this vegetarian

Even if your reader doesn't follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), they may have friends or family that they're cooking for that could use this. This is also a great idea to link out to another blogger with a similar recipe that fits a different diet.

Variations

Giving the visitor ideas on how they can change this recipe to better suit their dinner guests, or their cultural cuisine, is a great way to increase the chances they make the recipe

Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish, or banana peppers
Deluxe - add guacamole, crispy onions or
Kid friendly - add crushed potato chips (ketchup chips!)

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

Tell your visitors what equipment you use and how to adjust the recipe if they use something different, and link to your affiliate link to purchase the equipment.

Storage

Store the wet ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onion) separately from the dry ingredients (buns) in the fridge, and recombine when ready. Good for 2-3 days.

These ingredients do/don't stand up well to freezing for X days/weeks/months.

Top Tip

Share something here that you think is key to making this recipe well, such as: Don't overcook the burgers! Sear the outside and cook to a minimum internal temperature, but they should still be juicy for best results.
