Bite you Back Burgers

This burger patty recipe has few ingredients, but it’s definitely big on flavor. Try this next time you have a craving for something spicy.



Ingredients:

·         2 lbs.  Ground beef, preferably medium
·         1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
·         2 tsp.  Chili powder
·         1 tsp.  Salt
·         3 green onions, thinly sliced
The secret to any great burger? Use medium, not the usual lean, ground beef. Then you can pass on the egg-and-bread-crumb routine.


Preparation:

1.       Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high.

2.       In a bowl, stir chili sauce with chili powder and salt. Crumble in meat. Add onions. Using your hands or a fork, gently mix. Shape into 8 burgers, each about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.

3.       To prevent burgers from puffing up when grilling, use your thumb to make a shallow depression in centre of each. Place on grill. Barbecue with lid closed until burgers are cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

 Delicious tucked into warm buns with slices of tomato and grilled onions and a slice of cheese.

Happy Cooking
