How to Make Chipotle Burger Topped With Grilled Onions And Cheese

  1. Preheat grill to high heat for 10 minutes. While preheating, mix 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), and 2 ounces chipotle salsa in a bowl. Gently form the mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
  2. Lightly brush the patties with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  3. Lightly coat the grill grates with vegetable oil.
  4. Brush 1 large onion, thinly sliced, with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sear the onion slices on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side, until slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  5. Place four burger buns, cut-side down, on the grill and toast for 30 seconds.
  6. Remove the toasted buns and set aside.
  7. Sear the beef patties on the grill for approximately 2 minutes per side, until the meat has changed color about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom.
  8. Flip the patties.
  9. Sear for an additional 1-3 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
  10. Reduce the grill heat to medium or low.
  11. Close the grill lid.
  12. Cook the burgers to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Check the temperature by inserting a digital thermometer halfway into the thickest part of each patty.
  13. Top each patty with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, Monterey Jack).
  14. Close the grill lid.
  15. Grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 minute.
  16. Place each burger on a toasted bun. Top with 2 teaspoons of chipotle salsa and the grilled onion rings.
