Instructions

Place vinegar, ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire, Dijon, and spices in a small saucepan; stir to combine the BBQ sauce.

Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, wash, dry, trim, and seed bell peppers; slice lengthwise into ¼-inch thick strips. Place in a large bowl.

Wash, dry, and slice mushrooms into ½-inch thick pieces; add to the bowl with the bell pepper.

Peel, halve, and slice onions lengthwise into ¼-inch thick pieces; add to the bowl with the other veggies. Drizzle with oil, season with spices, and toss to coat.

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the grill pan is hot, working in batches, add veggies and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. Transfer veggies to a large plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. (Reserve bowl for the next step).

Meanwhile, mince sun-dried tomatoes and capers; place both in the reserved bowl.

Add beef and spices to the bowl with sun-dried tomatoes and capers; mix with your hands until well combined. Form the beef mixture into 6 equal-sized patties and place on another plate.

Once the veggies are done, return the grill pan to medium-high heat and coat with oil. Working in batches if necessary, add burger patties and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes; flip patties, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Once done, transfer to a clean plate.

Toast buns if desired.

To assemble the burgers, layer the bottom half of each bun with a patty, BBQ sauce, and a small portion of grilled veggies; close with the top half of each bun. (Reserve remaining veggies for serving.)

To serve, divide burgers and remaining veggies between plates. Enjoy!
