Hi--
These burgers are WONDERFUL!! We made these on the grill last night and I don't know if I can ever eat a plain hamburger again!! I used the hot bulk sausage because we like stuff spicy, but you can just use the mild if desired...These burgers are nice and juicy with just a kick of spice!
Enjoy!

Southwestern Backyard Burgers
1 can chopped green chiles (4 oz)
1/4 cup worcestershire
1/2 tsp. Liquid Smoke
1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers
4-1/2 tsp. chili powder
3 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage
16 slices pepperjack cheese
8 large hamburger buns, toasted
condiments of choice: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, whole green chiles, bacon, mayo, mustard, ketchup, etc.
In a bowl, combine first 8 ingredients, crumble meats over and mix well but lightly. Shape into 8 patties.
Grill, broil or pan fry for 5-7 minutes per side until no longer pink in center. Top with 2 slices cheese and cook 1 minute longer to melt cheese. Serve on toasted buns with condiments of your choice.
This was is my new Taste of Home magazine...I would definitely use 2 slices of cheese instead of one per burger called for in original recipe. Also would serve with the variety of condiments, they only gave lettuce as an option.
