Avocado Chipotle Cheeseburger

We really like our garlic and onions here and have mixed them in with the meat.

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs. lean hamburger                  3 Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce

½ cup steak sauce                          1 ripe avocado sliced

2 Tbs. steak seasoning                   1 tomato sliced

1 Tbs. coarse black pepper             ½ cup Parmesan Cheese

1 small sweet onion –chopped        Buns of choice

3 Tbs. chopped garlic                      condiments of choice

1 Tbs. Chipotle chili powder            Colby-Jack cheese sliced

Directions:

In a mixing bowl add together the hamburger, steak sauce, steak seasoning, pepper, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan cheese, chili powder and mix well forming 5 patties.

Preparing Grill:

Oil and preheat your grill to medium high heat (400). Add your wet hickory chips the grill. (Note: you can add your hickory directly to the grill or you can use foil smoke packets.(Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.)

Put your burgers on a hot grill for 4-5 minutes and LEAVE IT ALONE, if you try to turn it before its ready it will stick to the grill and tear apart. It will flip easily when it is seared, do so and give it 2 or 3 minutes with the grill closed before you add your Chipotle salsa and cheese.

Spoon a good covering of the chipotle salsa on the burgers and add the cheese slices. Plate when the cheese is melted.

Build your burger and set to…

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to your taste.

Take it and run with it….
