This is a fabulous tasting burger recipe, mixed with a bit of salsa for extra flavor.

The hamburgers get even more Mexican flavor with the addition of a touch of cumin. I love the warm, earthy flavor of cumin.

The burgers already have some cheese in them, but of course you can never have too much cheese, so add more on top if you want.

Salsa Burger Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or black pepper
• 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar or Swiss cheese
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (optional)

Method

Top with a slice of cheese if you want just a minute or two before the burgers are done.

Makes 4 servings.

This grilled hamburger recipe would be great served with our spicy potato wedges.

Tips and Variations:

• This recipe makes 4 hamburgers but can very easily be multiplied to serve as many people as you like.
• If you like things hot, add a few drops of hot sauce to the hamburger mixture before it is cooked.
• You can also add 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion to the meat mixture.

To make this recipe even healthier replace the lean ground beef with ground chicken or turkey.

I have included this burger recipe in our list of healthy diabetic recipes. I love the addition of the salsa for flavor and added nutrition. Ideally, for a diabetes diet recipe, omit the bun and serve the burger with lots of great toppings and a large salad. Have a whole wheat bun if you can handle the carbs.
