How to Make Salsa Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended), 1/2 cup homemade salsa (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently form into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Avoid over-handling the meat.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach your preferred internal temperature.
- During the last minute of grilling, top each patty with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, etc.) to allow it to melt.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before assembling. Top with your favorite burger fixings and enjoy!
