Recipe(tried): Chipotle Cheeseburgers

Maybe it's too cold for hamburgers on the grill, but it was still warm enough here that DH was happy to go outside and throw some on our grill. We had these last night and thought they were terrific. Considering Chipotle Tabasco Sauce had a starring role in this recipe, we didn't think they were "over the top" hot. We really liked them. I did add sliced avocado to the other toppings but avocado isn't included as a topping ingredient in the original recipe. Serve with whatever sides you normally like with hamburgers. I really wanted some homemade macaroni and cheese but, since it was late, we had Quick and Easy Baked Beans, the recipe for which I posted quite awhile ago.

CHIPOTLE CHEESEBURGERS
Tabasco.com
Serves 6

2 pounds lean ground beef (I used ground sirloin.)
3 tablespoons TABASCO brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
6 slices Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
6 hamburger buns
6 red onion slices
6 tomato slices
6 lettuce leaves

Combine ground beef, 2 tablespoons of the TABASCO Chipotle Sauce and salt in a large bowl and mix well; shape into 6 patties. Combine mayonnaise with remaining 1 tablespoon TABASCO Chipotle Sauce and mix well; set aside.

Grill or broil hamburger patties to desired doneness; place cheese slices on burgers and continue cooking just until cheese melts. Spread mayonnaise on buns and top with burgers, onion, tomato, and lettuce.
