Chipotle Cheddar Burgers (With a Southern Twist!)
These Chipotle Cheese Burgers are bold, juicy, and ready in under 25 minutes—perfect for summer grilling. Made with Mama Geraladine’s Chipotle Cheese Straws for a smoky Southern twist, this burger is anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Round 80/20 ration lean to fat for best flavor
- 1 box Mama Geraldine’s Chipotle Cheese Straws crushed into bread crumbs
- 1 Egg beaten
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cumin optional
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed cheese straws, egg, Worcestershire, onion, garlic, and cumin (if using).
- Gently mix until just combined. Careful to not overwork the meat.
- Form into patties of your desired size (this makes 4 patties).
- Season each patty with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and spray grates with preferred oil..
- Grill burgers for about 6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160ºF.
- Serve on toasted buns with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato (or your favorite toppings).
Notes
Recipe is adapted from Mama Geraldine's.
- Shape the patties just wider than your buns—they’ll shrink slightly as they cook, and this helps avoid the “all bun, no burger” bite.
- Always cook to 160ºF to make sure the burgers are fully cooked and safe to eat.
- No grill? No problem. Sear them in a hot cast iron skillet or bake at 400ºF for about 18–20 minutes. For a golden finish, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.
