I've been making this recipe since July 2011, it's a family favorite. Next to chicken, the thing we eat most around here is ground beef. My son's an odd duck- he'll eat tacos til the cows come home, but he is 50/50 on eating burgers. I thought this would be a great meal to please everyone and it really is.
I mix everything inside a ziptop bag, kneading from the outside to keep my hands clean. I've got two sets of burger presses, square and round. They make nice uniform patties. Sometimes I use cheddar, sometimes I use pepper jack. On mine, I use a dollop of salsa and sour cream. Such a nice change from plain burgers! Thank you so much to Linda L. for sharing the recipe!
Taco Burgers
Yield: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely crushed corn chips
- 1 envelope taco seasoning (used mild)
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 egg -- lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- Sandwich buns -- split
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Salsa -- optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the corn chips, taco seasoning onion and egg. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties. Grill until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear.
- Top each burger with a cheese slice; cook just until cheese begins to melt. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and salsa if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
