How to Make Audrey S Salsa Burgers
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup salsa, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
- Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into 12 hamburger patties, no bigger than 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of 6 patties.
- Top each cheese-covered patty with a remaining patty, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the double-patty burgers on the preheated grill.
- 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).
- While the burgers cook, prepare your toppings: slice tomatoes, dice avocados, and prepare your Spanish rice and salad.
- Place the cooked burgers on toasted buns. Top with sliced tomato, diced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
- Serve immediately with your Spanish rice and Mexican cheese-topped salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
