1.To make the cheesy garlic burgers with lemon butter zucchini noodles: Add ground beef to a medium bowl, breaking it up as you do. Sprinkle with steak seasoning, red chili pepper flakes, fresh cracked black pepper, half of the minced garlic, bouilloncube, and parsley. Mix with a fork or by hand until the ingredients are just combined.
2. Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 even portions and form into round patties (you can use a ring mold). Top half of beef patties with a slice of cheese and arrange another beef puck on top to make the “sandwich”.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties 5 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. While cooking, baste the beef with the mix of butter and juices. Remove to a clean plate and set aside.
4.In the same skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter; then add remaining garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
5.Stir in the fresh parsley, then add the zucchini noodles and toss for two to three minutes to cook it up. Allow the cooking juices to reduce for one minute if the zucchini renders too much water. Push zucchini on one side of the skillet and add the beef patties back to the pan and reheat for a minute or two. Serve the cheesy garlic burgers with lemon butter zucchini noodles immediately with a lemon slice on the side. Enjoy!

Tips for the cheesy burgers and zucchini recipe
- Zucchini tends to render a lot of water when cooking, so you can sprinkle with salt after spiralizing and allow to sit for a couple of minutes to take off excess water. Rinse well to get rid of salt and drain thoroughly in a colander before cooking.
- Let sit the ground beef on the counter to bring it in at room temperature. The burgers will cook more evenly.
How and how long to keep the cheesy beef burgers and zucchini noodles?
You can keep the cheesy beef burgers and zucchini for up to 2 days in an airtight container stored in your refrigerator. Reheat covered in a skillet with a dash of water to loosen up the sauce.

Haven't cooked it yet, prepped for tonight. I just wanted to make a suggestion in the recipe. It's states 1/2 fresh parsley and in the instructions on preparing the beef patties it says fresh parsley. Then in the later instructions on the zucchini noodles it says fresh parsley. In the ingrediants list add the separation of fresh parsley (1/2 for patties and 1/2 for zucchini or under the patties instructions state only use 1/2 the fresh parsley. I read the whole recipe as I usually do but totally missed the fresh parsley in the zucchini and added all of it to the patties. I have a plant so I'm going to cut more but someone else might not and just wanted to offer that suggestion. Hope this makes sense. Can't wait to try it tonight. Thanks.

I made this with ground turkey and didn’t put cheese between two Patties. I just used a single Pattie with cheese on top. It was really good. Loved ‘em.
