Ingredients
For the Burgers:
2 Lbs 97 % lean ground beef
¼ cup finely grated carrot
1 small rib celery finely diced
1 medium onion finely diced
4 chipolte chiles in adobo sauce chopped into small pieces
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp McCormick spicy montreal steak seasoning
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
6 slices chipotle cheddar cheese (I prefer Cabot Vermont sharp cheddar with chipotles)
6 large whole wheat hamburger buns
6 silces of tomato
6 pieces romaine lettuce
6 slices onion
For the Grilling Sauce:
In a small bowl combine ½ cup A-1 Steak Sauce, ¼ cup Sutter Home Merlot and 1 Tbsp. of adobo sauce from canned chipotles.
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, carrot, celery, onion, chiles, cumin, montreal steak seasoning, salt, and pepper. Divide into six equal portions and shape mixture into 6 patties. Rub the grill rack with a rolled paper towel that has been dipped in oil. Place patties on grill, grill patties over medium-hot coals until cooked through, about 5 minutes each side. After you’ve flipped the patties once, brush with grilling sauce. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheese. Place patties on bun bottoms and top with 1 slice of tomato, 1 piece of romaine lettuce and one slice of onion then place bun tops on top.
