Recipe Introduction


This burger is packed with flavor from the inside out. Spices mixed into the beef and Monterey Jack cheese make this a smoky, satisfying meal.







List of Ingredients



• 2 pounds lean ground beef
  
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  
• 4 slices reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
  
• 6-8 whole grain buns, toasted
  
• 6-8 lettuce leaves
  
• 6-8 tomato slices
  
• Topping: purple onion slices, avocado, salsa
  






Instructions



1. Combine lean ground beef and next 4 ingredients; (shape into 12 equal-size patties for 6 servings or 16 patties for 8 servings.)
   
2. Top 6 patties with cheese, tearing cheese slices as needed to fit patties; cover with remaining patties, pressing edges to seal. Place on a rack of a broiler pan.
   
3. Broil 51/2 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and desired toppings.
