2 lbs Hamburger Meat (for the best burger meat, ask your butcher for a mixture of short rib and brisket or sirloin)

8 Slices of Bacon
Black Bean Salsa (to taste)
Instructions:
Divide burger meat into 4-8 oz patties and flatten in a circle shape
Place 1 Tbsp of chipotle garlic spread and 2 oz of cheese in the center
Fold in all sides of the meat to form a stuffed patty, making sure the garlic and cheese are well contained in the center
Cook on a stovetop or grill to 140ºF internal temperature for medium cook
Top your burgers with bacon, black bean salsa and more chipotle garlic spread (avoid using any other condiments)
Side serving suggestions:
CRISPY GARLIC POTATO WEDGES
Serve with delicious crispy garlic potato wedges on the side. Cut potatoes into wedges, making sure they are the same thickness and size. Par broil for 5 minutes. Drain and dry. Sprinkle with sea salt and place in a bag with 4 Tbsp of garlic chipotle spread. Massage the bag lightly to make sure all the wedges are coated. Remove from bag and place on a cookie sheet line with foil. Bake in oven at 400ºF for about 30-35 minutes until golden, crispy and soft in the center. You can also cook these in an air fryer - following the instructions for your specific air fryer model). Serve as a side with additional garlic chipotle spread as the dipping sauce. Optional: sprinkle with fresh diced parsley.
ICEBERG WEDGE SALAD
Split a head of iceberg lettuce into wedges (size is your preference). Top with Florida Fusion dressing. It's a simple, fast and a refreshing side to the burgers!
ENJOY!
