Southwestern Burgers


Ingredients:
  • 1 (4 oz) can green chilies
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 3/4 lb pork sausage
  • 8 slices Pepper Jack cheese
  • 8 hamburger buns, split & toasted
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1-2 ripe avocados, peeled & sliced
  • optional mayo or mustard

Directions:

  1. Combine in a large mixing bowl: green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, ground beef, and pork sausage. Mix well.
  2. Shape into hamburger patties.
  3. Grill on a preheated grill, covered - over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side. Internal meat temperature should reach 160 degrees F.
  4. After cooking both sides of each hamburger, top burgers with 1 slice of Pepper Jack cheese. Cook uncovered for an additional 2 minutes so cheese can melt.
  5. Serve on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and your choice of mayo or mustard.
