Southwest Chipotle Cheeseburgers

I found this hamburger "recipe" awhile back, but just finally got around to trying it last night. It was SO yummy and simple! I use "recipe" lightly because I never ever have followed a recipe for a hamburger. I mean, really, it is just a hamburger. Also, no picture. Sorry, but I figure that we all know what a hamburger looks like.

Here is what you need.

1 pound ground beef
2 garlic cloves or similar quantity in powder
1 onion, finely chopped (I used minced)
1/2 tsp liquid smoke (I didn't have this so I omitted it)
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Hot Sauce (I admit, I am kind of a chicken...I only used 1 tsp..go with your taste buds)
3 Tbsp tomato paste (ketchup will work to if you don't want to open tomato paste)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp Southwest Chipotle seasoning (I use Tones from Sam's)

1) Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
2) (Optional) Let sit for an hour to marinate. (I did this just because I had the time)
3) Form into hamburger patties. One pound of meat made 5 patties for my family, but that is just the size of burger we like.
4) Cook on a BBQ grill or in a skillet until meat is to your desired done-ness.
5) Top with cheese the last 2 or 3 minutes of cooking.
6) Serve with your favorite Hamburger toppings.

Enjoy!
