Recipe Notes

Cook’s Tip: This burger may be served on a bed of mixed greens topped with your favorite salsa. Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
