You’d think it was Christmas in July.
Nope, just some last-minute 4th of July burgers!
These pesto burgers are going to save your butt.
They please meat eaters and vegetarians and are the easiest burgers are around. No fuss!
If you are seriously low on time you skip the homemade pesto and grab some from the store. Oh, who am I am kidding, making pesto takes no time. The real reason you don’t want to make it is most likely because you do not want to have to wash the food processor. I feel you. I hate that task like no other. So many parts.
I love both burgers.
The grilled mushrooms rule and I prefer them to the chicken, but then there is my mom who hates mushrooms and loves the chicken burgers. I figured I’d just show you both since you would probably like a little something for everyone tonight. It makes it super easy to accommodate all eaters!
The toppings though?
The toppings make the burgers. The melty fresh mozzarella, fresh basil pesto and the marinated roasted tomatoes are incredible. Summer flavors at their best. That is for sure!
So I am keeping this real short. Today is all about grilling, eating and celebrating Americas birthday!
Oh yes!
Oh, and if you live outside the US and today is just a Thursday like any other, I would totally celebrate that. I mean Thursday is one day closer to Friday and that is definitely something to celebrate!

This dish turned out so easy to prep/cook and so incredibly delicious! I can’t believe something that took me like 30 minutes tasted SO GOOD. Pass: Add more pesto to your burger buns!
Hi Valeria,
Happy Sunday!! Love to hear that you have enjoyed this recipe, thanks so much for making it!! xx
I made these last night and we had ground beef or mushroom burgers. I had the mushroom and they were delicious the pesto and tomato toppings were the star.
Thank you Lea! xTieghan
I just recently discovered your blog thanks to Pinterest. This is the second of your recipes that I’ve made over the last 2 days. Absolutely delicious! My husband and kids aren’t always excited when I try new recipes, but they all agree it is going to be a really tasty summer… and we haven’t even tried a dessert yet!
Yeah!! That excites me so much! Thank you, Stacey! I am so happy you guys are enjoying my recipes!
Wow – these are gorgeous! I love that you can use mushrooms or chicken – sometimes I just can’t do meat (the baby is weird about it, I guess!), so I love having a veggie option too 🙂
Glad to please both you and your little one!! Thanks Jennifer!
I can totally see this being my favourite summer burger…everything about this is perfection! Thanks for sharing this recipe, it’s a MUST-try.
