Oh my goodness... GOOD burger!!! Made these for my bf and I tonight. I am not a fan of plain grilled burgers, but these HIT THE SPOT! Recipe yields 4 PLUMP burgers. I can normally eat 2, but tonight, all I could manage was 1 (haha!). All I did to modify the recipe was to add a little more than half of a 4 oz. can of mild diced green chilies (drained) and 1/4 c. of plain bread crumbs per other's suggestions, and, instead of grilling, broiled for approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Topped with mild cheddar (my local grocer did not have the smoked variety) and salsa and served with nacho Doritos and homemade pink lemonade to wash it all down. Yum-o!

Great Burgers!! I used ground turkey instead of the sausage, and I didn't have any chili powder so I used Pampered Chef Southwestern Seasoning (about 1 tablespoon), also increased the cumin a little. Added 1 can of chopped green chilis and a handful of fresh breadcrumbs. The burgers wouldn't have held up to the grill but cooked up nicely in a pan on the stovetop in about 5-6 minutes per side. They didn't have sliced smoked cheddar at my grocery store so I used Chipotle Cheddar (Sargento brand), and it was nice and smoky and added extra bite. No extra condiments needed!!

Can only give this 4 stars because I had to adjust it a bit for my family's taste. It was a bit spicy for my kiddos, otherwise the recipe is great as is. I had to double the recipe. I used 1 lb. sausage and 1 lb beef. I think I will use 1/2 tsp cumin instead of 1 tsp.

Very moist and tender burgers. Had a great amount of spice in it for a little kick but not too much that everyone could not eat them. The smoked cheddar is the key for these burgers. Will make again.

Loved these....I used a lb. of extra lean ground chicken instead of the sausage. I sauteed red onion, garlic and diced red peppers. I added them to the chicken with 1 tsp. cumin and 1 tsp. chili powder, added 1/2 can of diced green chilies and added about 1/4c. plain bread crumbs to bind. I grilled these burgers and topped them with a mexican shredded cheese blend and with salsa.....no bun needed! Will make again!

My kids devoured this and I ended up not having enough because they all begged for more. I didn't have sausage so I used hamburg. I also didn't have red onion so I used regular. No doubt will become a family favorite. They tasted like taco's.
