Courtesy of The Beef Checkoff 4 Servings • 15 Min. Prep Time • 12 Min. Cook Time| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1 lb. ground beef (75% to 80% lean) |
| 1/4 c. finely chopped green onions |
| 1/2 tsp. ground cumin |
| salt and pepper |
| 4 hamburger buns, split, toasted |
| 1/4 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend |
| 1/2 c. chopped tomato |
Directions:
1. Combine ground beef, green onions and cumin in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-in. thick patties.
2. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11-13 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7-8 min.), until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
3. Place burger on bottom of each bun; top with cheese and tomato. Close sandwiches.
* Cook's Tip: To broil, place patties on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4-in. from heat. Broil 10-12 min., turning once, until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F.
* Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
