Description

These Fiesta Cheese Burgers bring bold southwestern flavors to your backyard grill. By blending ground beef with Old El Paso taco sauce, chopped green chilies, and an egg binder, you create patties that are juicy, tender, and packed with zesty spice. The addition of dry bread crumbs helps retain moisture, ensuring a perfect texture every time. Topped with melting American cheese and served on toasted buns, these burgers are a crowd-pleaser for family dinners or casual parties. They offer a fun twist on the classic hamburger, delivering a warm, savory, and slightly tangy taste experience that is both comforting and exciting. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe guarantees a delicious meal without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, taco sauce, dry bread crumbs, chopped green chilies, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the ground beef to the mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until evenly incorporated.
  3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or prepare a charcoal grill for medium heat.
  5. Place patties on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
  6. Continue grilling until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
  7. Place one slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking.
  8. Cook until the cheese is melted, then transfer burgers to toasted buns and serve immediately.

Note

Make sure to drain any excess liquid from the chopped green chilies if they appear wet, to prevent the patties from falling apart.

For a richer flavor, you can replace half of the ground beef with ground pork or a blend of beef and pork.

Serve with your favorite toppings such as diced onions, sliced jalape&# 195;±os, lettuce, and tomato.

These burgers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
