Guacamole Cheeseburgers Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of grill).
• Combine the avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and mash together with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Stir in the cilantro, cover and set aside.
• Combine the oil, bell peppers, onion, jalapeno, 1 tablespoon of the chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine; set aside.
• Combine the beef, remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture into fourths and shape into patties.
• Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Put the bell pepper mixture in an open grill basket and cook over direct heat, tossing frequently, until the peppers and onions are golden and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Move the basket over indirect heat. Put the patties over direct heat. Grill the patties until marked on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook about 2 minutes, then top each patty with 1 slice of pepper jack cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the patties are marked on the other side and slightly firm, about 1 minute more for medium rare. Remove the patties and pepper mixture to a serving platter.
• Spread the guacamole on both sides of the buns and top with the patties and pepper mixture.

Steps:

• Halve, pit and peel avocado.
• Mash ¼ of avocado with a fork; add lemon juice and salt to taste; mash until smooth.
• Stir in tomato, scallion, cilantro, and remaining avocado, cut into ¼ inch cubes.
• Fold together gently but thoroughly.
• Cover surface with plastic wrap.
• Handling beef as little as possible, divide it into thirds, shape each third into a patty and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat a well-seasoned, ridged, cast-iron pan over moderately-high heat (or grill on bbq) until hot and cook the hamburgers 5 ½ minutes per side for rare.
• Top with cheese slices and cook, covered, for 1 minute, to melt cheese.
• Transfer to a plate and let stand, tented loosely with foil, for 3 minutes, to finish cooking.
• Transfer to hamburger buns; top with guacamole and sliced radishes and serve.

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE GUACAMOLE: In a medium bowl mash the avocado with the back of a fork, leaving a few lumps. Add the remaining guacamole ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.TO MAKE THE BURGERS: In a large bowl gently mix together the burger ingredients with your hands. Shape the meat into six patties of equal size and thickness (about 3/4 inch thick).Grill over Direct Medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Top each burger with a slice of the cheese during the last minute or two of grilling time and allow the cheese to melt. During the last 30 seconds, grill the buns over Direct Medium heat until lightly toasted. Serve the cheeseburgers hot on the toasted buns, topped with the guacamole.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling.
