Chipotle Bleu Burgers Recipes

CHIPOTLE CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• To make the patties: Combine the beef, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into patties a little more than 1/2-inch thick, place on a plate, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To make the sauce: Stir together the sour cream, chipotles, adobo sauce, onions, cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Set aside.
• To make the burgers: Oil a grill rack and preheat the grill on high for 5 minutes. Spread the bun faces lightly with the butter. Grill the burgers over direct heat on medium-high (on a charcoal grill, set the burgers just outside the center of the grill rack), with the grill covered, for 4 minutes. Flip the burgers, top each with a slice of Cheddar, and grill, covered, 4 minutes more. Remove the burgers to a plate.
• Grill the buns, buttered-side down, over indirect heat, until golden, about 2 minutes. Set a burger on each bun bottom and top with avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion and a dab of chipotle sauce. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve.

CHIPOTLE BURGERS

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.
• Meanwhile, open any whole chipotles and discard seeds, then mince chipotles.
• Mix chipotles (with sauce), beef, onion, and salt with your hands, then form mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties.
• Grill burgers on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill English muffins, cut sides down, until grill marks appear, about 30 seconds. Serve burgers in English muffins.
• Grilling Procedure
• If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
• Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
• Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
• Low: 5 to 6 seconds
• If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
