How to Make Audrey's Salsa Burgers

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup salsa, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
  2. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Shape the mixture into 12 hamburger patties, no bigger than 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of 6 patties.
  5. Top each cheese-covered patty with a remaining patty, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Place the double-patty burgers on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 11-15 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. While the burgers cook, prepare your toppings: slice tomatoes, dice avocados, and prepare your Spanish rice and salad.
  10. Place the cooked burgers on toasted buns. Top with sliced tomato, diced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
  11. Serve immediately with your Spanish rice and Mexican cheese-topped salad.
