Big Chili Burgers

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 8 ounces extra lean ground sirloin
• 1/2 cup canned fat-free refried beans
• 2 tablespoons minced onions
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl, lightly mix together meat and beans with a fork until well combined.
• 2 mix in onion, garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, salt and pepper.
• 3 (be careful not to over-mix or you will end up with a tightly-compacted mixture that tastes unpleasant; it should be light.) gently form mixture into four 4-inch patties.
• 4 cook burgers on pre-heated grill or ridged grill pan, turning them once, until a meat thermometer inserted in their centers registers 160 degrees (about 8 to 10 minutes).
• 5 hot burgers crumble easily, so handle carefully, using a wide spatula.
• 6 serve immediately, preferably on toasted buns, topped with sliced tomato and onion plus some well-drained salsa.
