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 chipotle pepper, minced , from a can, with some adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
For the Burgers
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80%-85%
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- 4 slices cheese, American, Muenster, Mozzarella, or Cheddar
- Optional Toppings: tomatoes, lettuce, hamburger dills, peppers, etc.
Instructions
For the Aioli
- Use a chef's knife to scrape and press the pressed garlic to make a paste.
- 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
- Heat a grill on high for 10 minutes.
- 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.
- Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Flip the patties and continue cooking, undisturbed, for 4 to 5 minutes longer.
- 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.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with the aioli and toppings.
