Recipe Notes
JUICY BURGER TIPS
Start with lean ground beef, not extra lean.
Avoid adding chunky pieces of garlic or onions or herbs to favor the meat because you’ll have to over work it to blend everything in.
Go for a dry spice mix to sprinkle lightly over the meat and shape gently into patties.
Cook the burgers on a stove top skillet and watch carefully not to over cook.
Add the cheese and to off the heat right away. Covering the pan for just one minute will help the cheese melt.
When layering the burger sandwich, add salsa at the bottom with the mayo.
When the hot burger is placed over the salsa It ill start to absorb it right away adding extra juicy-ness to the juicy burger.
Add more salsa and guacamole over the burger for extra juicy feel in your mouth from the buttery avocados and juicy salsa.
Serve right away!
