Rejoice in a fiesta of flavours with one bite of this mouth-watering burger.

1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef

1/3 cup (75 mL) dry breadcrumbs

1 small onion, grated

2 tbsp (25 mL) Old El Paso* Chopped Green Chilies

1 egg

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper

1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup (50 mL) Old El Paso* Thick N’ Chunky Salsa

4 hamburger buns

tomato slices and lettuce leaves

In bowl, stir together beef, breadcrumbs, onion, chilies, egg, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Using half of the beef mixture, form four equal hamburger patties, each about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
Place 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the shredded cheese in the centre of each patty.
Using remaining beef mixture, form four more patties and place one on top of each cheese-topped patty, pinching edges to seal.
Grill over medium-hot coals on a greased grill for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside.
Just before removing from grill, spoon 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the salsa on each burger to heat through.
Place burgers in buns and garnish with tomato slices and lettuce leaves or top as desired.

Tip: Never press down on your burgers while grilling as this causes the juices to run out, resulting in a dry tasteless eating experience.
