Southwestern Burgers Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • We love burgers loaded with a lot of flavorful toppings, but a “Dagwood” style burger can be nearly impossible to eat. The toppings slide out from beneath the bun and end up covering everything but the burger itself. Is there way of putting the toppings inside the burger where they can’t fall out? Here’s what we discovered:
  • Test Kitchen Discoveries
  • Flavor the ground beef with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, chipotle chiles, and taco seasoning.
  • To prevent the cheese-infused burger from tasting greasy, use relatively lean 85 percent lean ground beef.
  • Combine the ground beef and flavorings gently; otherwise the burgers may be tough.
  • Smoky-tasting chipotle chiles add both spiciness and a rich flavor to the burgers. These chiles, which are smoked jalapeños, come packed in a tomato-based adobo sauce. Small cans of chipotles are found in the Mexican foods aisle of most supermarkets.
  • Because of the ingredients mixed into the meat, we found it best to cook the burgers to well-done. The cheese keeps them from being dry or tough.
