Ingredients
Cheddar Onion Chipotle Burgers Directions
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat):
- For Onions
- Arrange onion rounds on baking sheet. Brush with oil; sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt and pepper. Transfer onion rounds (still intact) to grill rack; close cover. Cook until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side. Reduce heat or move onions to cooler part of grill. Close cover; cook until onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Toss with vinegar. Set aside and cover.
- For chipotle ketchup
- Mix ketchup, chiles, adobo sauce, and 2 teaspoons vinegar in small bowl. Season with salt and more vinegar, if desired. Cover and chill.
- For burgers
- Shape beef into six 1/2-inch thick patties. Sprinkle patties on both sides with coarse salt and pepper.
- Mix onions in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper and vinegar. Set aside.
- Toast buns on grill until golden brown. Remove buns and set aside.
- Place burgers on grill. Close cover; cook burgers until bottoms start to darken and juices rise to surface, about 3-5 minutes. Turn burgers; cook to desired temp, about 3-5 minutes or so longer for medium-rare. Top with onions and cheese. Close cover; cook until cheese melts. (To insure food safety, check meat with a thermometer and heat interior of burger to a minimum of 165 degrees.)
- Place muffin bottoms on plates; spread with ketchup. Top with burgers, tomatoes, spinach, and muffin tops. Serve, passing remaining ketchup separately.
