This yummy Mozzarella cheeseburger recipe features lean Canadian beef spiced up with a salsa-and-chili combo that can’t be beat! Finish off the burgers with slices of Canadian Mozzarella or try Canadian Havarti, Gouda or Cheddar cheese instead. Top with warm Grilled Peppers for the ultimate homemade Mozza-burger. Note: You can also cook the burgers in a skillet over medium-high heat, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Ingredients

1 ⅓ lb (600 g) CANADIAN LEAN GROUND BEEF


1 clove garlic, chopped


⅔ cup (150 mL) bread crumbs


¼ cup (50 mL) EACH chopped red onion and salsa


1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder


1 tsp (5 mL) ground cumin


salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


Grilled Peppers: (recipe follows)


4 onion buns


8 slices of CANADIAN MOZZARELLA


⅓ cup (75 mL) homemade or store-bought guacamole


2 tbsp (30 mL) sour cream


2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh coriander

Directions

Combine beef and garlic, bread crumbs, onion, salsa, chilli powder, cumin, egg, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl; divide into 6 portions and form into 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties. Make a thumb-print depression in centre of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make ahead: Refrigerate, covered, for 1/2 hour or up to 1 day.

Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning twice, until digital instant read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C), about 10 minutes. Top each cooked patty with a slice of Mozzarella, warm grilled peppers and then a second Mozzarella slice.

While cheese melts, toast burger buns. Assemble burgers and top with a dollop of guacamole and sour cream; sprinkle with coriander.
