Step 1

Shred the zucchini and squeeze it very dry with your hands.

Step 2

Measure out 1 cup.

Step 3

Spread the zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel and roll up. Squeeze lightly to absorb more moisture.

Step 4

Add to a bowl with the beef, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix together to make a uniform mixture.

Step 5

Portion out into patties using 1/4 cup in each. Flatten to about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and melt and spread it around. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes.

Step 7

Flip over and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the patties are cooked through to medium-well (or to you're liking).

Step 8

Serve with the buns with desired toppings. Or dice up for younger eaters.
