Makes: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 - 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Ground Beef (75% to 80% lean)
Finely Chopped Green Onions
Ground Cumin
Hamburger Buns, split, toasted
Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
Chopped Tomato
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Additional Items:

• Medium Bowl
• Instant-read Thermometer

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium.
Combine ground beef, green onions and cumin in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
Place patties on grid and grill, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes to medium (160°F), until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
Cook's Tip: To broil, place patties on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F.
Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Place burger on bottom of each bun; top with cheese and tomato.
Option: Instead of just a tomato, top with avocados and pico de gallo.
Close sandwiches.
