Spiced Up California Burgers Recipes

CALIFORNIA BURGER

Steps:

• Cut up the tomato and get the lettuce all set to go.
• Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
• Salt & pepper the ground beef and then divide into 8oz (1/2 lb) portions for singles or you can use smaller 6oz portions for a double burger. Flatten into patties that are about 1/2 inch larger than the buns.
• Put a thumbprint in the middle of the patty so it doesn't puff up when cooking.
• Grill your burgers about 4min on the first side.
• Cook until you reach the correct temp (140F for medium), usually about 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add cheese about a minute before you pull the burgers off the grill.
• Optional: Add ketchup & mayo (about 50/50) to the bottom of the bun.
• Stack up the ingredients (if you keep a lettuce leaf on top it keeps that bun from getting too soggy from the tomato) and enjoy!
