Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and ½ cup warm water. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Add cabbage and carrots and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 10 min. Drain the slaw.

Meanwhile, divide the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until a meat thermometer reaches 160°F (71℃), 3–4 min. per side.

Reduce the heat to low and divide the Beemster Hatch Pepper cheese among the burgers and cover with a lid until cheese melts, 2 min. 

Place 1 burger patty on each bun. Top with pickled slaw.
