How to Make Burgers With A Kick

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
  2. Gently add 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended) to the bowl. Using your hands, carefully combine the ingredients, being cautious not to overmix. Form into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your buns.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to retain juiciness.
  4. During the last minute of grilling, lightly toast your buns on the grill. Top each burger with your favorite cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack are great choices) and let it melt slightly.
  5. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
