Burger night

It's been awhile since I blogged about burgers......it's not that I haven't been making them, I just haven't been taking pictures of them. It comes down to this, they are quick and easy and 9 times out of 10, I'm running behind schedule lately. So my creativity has been faltering with what to cook and I'm actually kind of looking forward to the fall when I start experimenting more with new recipes.

I opted the other night for this chili cheese and salsa burger.


How can you go wrong when you mix the cheese into the meat?? Not only is there cheese, there's one egg, some panko, chipotle chili pepper and a can of green chilis.

Instead of ketchup, I topped the buns with salsa.

I would make these again - the burgers were flavourful and I loved the salsa substitution. I would up the ante with the cheese though by melting some pepper jack on top :) One can never have too much cheese.

  7. I am not a burger person, but I love eating homemade burger. There is something about it (maybe it's homemade) and that make it special!

  8. Thanks for stopping by Elra! I could live on burgers - if it wasn't for the expanding waist line that they cause :)
