Chipotle Cheeseburger

Some may be getting tired of the hot summer but that just means late night grill sessions. I've been having fun putting our BBQ sauces to good use; easily adding great flavor by simply mixing some BBQ sauce into the ground beef. Our Pastamore Chipotle Chili Marinade and Grill Sauce gives these burgers a great smoky flavor and a hint of spice.

Ingredients:
1 lb - ground beef, 80/20
4 slices - Colby jack cheese
2-4 Tbsp - Pastamore Chipotle Chili Marinade and Grill Sauce
1/2 tsp - salt
1/2 tsp - black pepper
1 - tomato
4 - lettuce leaves
4 buns
As needed - mayonnaise (optional)

Directions:
1. Heat grill over medium-high heat.

2. Add ground beef, spices, and 2 Tbsp of Pastamore Chipotle Chili Marinade and Grill Sauce to a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined and form into 4 even patties. Add to grill and cook to desired doneness (flipping once during the cooking process). Add cheese when burgers are nearly cooked and allow to melt before removing from grill.

3. Split and toast buns. Rinse tomatoes and lettuce. Cut tomatoes into slices.

4. Plate bottom bun and top with a smear of mayonnaise. Next, add burger and top with a drizzle of Pastamore Chipotle Chili Marinade and Grill Sauce. Finish by adding lettuce, tomato, and top bun.
