Perfectly grilled burgers are easy to make on a gas or charcoal grill or grill pan. The chipotle aioli is the perfect finishing touch!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds 80% ground beef
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 burger buns, toasted
  • 4 to 8 slices cheese (American, Muenster, Mozzarella, or Cheddar)
  • Optional Toppings: tomatoes, lettuce, hamburger dills, peppers, etc.

For the Chipotle Sauce/Aioli

 

  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper (from a can, with some sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

For the Aioli

  1. Use a chef’s knife to scrape and press the pressed garlic to make a paste.
  2. Put the garlic in a bowl with the mayonnaise, onion powder, salt, pepper, chipotle pepper, and lime juice; mix well and set aside.

For the Burgers

 

  1. Heat a grill on high for 10 minutes.
  2. While the grill is heating, divide the ground beef into four 6-ounce portions. Shape the portions into patties. With your thumb, make a depression in the center of each burger.
  3. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the burgers on the grill grate and let them cook over direct heat without flipping for about 4 to 5 minutes. They are ready to flip when they release easily from the grill grate.
  5. Flip the patties and continue cooking, undisturbed, for 4 to 5 minutes longer.
  6. Place cheese slices on the burgers about 1 minute before the burgers are done. The USDA recommends a minimum safe temperature of 160 F (well done). If you prefer medium, cook them to 145 F.
  7. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with the aioli and toppings.
