Servings: 6
Prep Time: 5 Min.
Cook Time: 15 Min.

* 1 1/2 lb. ground veal
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 3 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
* 1/2 tsp. coarse grind black pepper
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
* 1/2 c. each red, green and yellow bell pepper strips (2-1/4 x 1/4-in.)
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* bread or rolls, toasted (optional)

1. In large bowl, combine ground veal, egg, onion and pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. (Mixture will be very moist.) Shape into six 1/2-in. thick patties.
2. Arrange patties on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 4-in. from heat. Broil 8-10 min. or until centers are no longer pink, turning once. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt.
3. Meanwhile in 10-in. nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add bell peppers; cook and stir 5 min. or until tender. Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt. Spoon equal amounts of peppers on burgers. Serve burgers on bread, if desired.

* Cook's Tip: To grill, place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 10-12 min. or until centers are no longer pink, turning once.
