Is there anything more classic American than the burger? Eh, maybe they're might be but in the food world it tops the list. You're blog mistress is a bit of a picky polly when it comes to burgers. Turkey burgers are king to me but when I want a real made from beef burger then the patty has to be so thin there is more bun than actual meat and it has to be well done. No pink for this gal. Odd? I know but hey isn't it in our food dna (thanks to Burger King) to have it our way?
So why all this talk about burgers? Well that's tonight's recipe. Ma stumbled upon this one on the side of a Hellman's mayo jar. Hey, we get our recipes from everywhere.
Here's what you'll need:
JUICY SALSA BURGERS
INGREDIENTS:
*2 lbs. ground chuck
*1/2 onion, grated
*3 Tbsp. Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise
*3 Tbsp. Worchestershire Sauce
*1 Tbsp. chili powder (optional)
*1/2 cup salsa
*8 hamburger buns
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine ground chuck, onion, Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise, Worchestershire sauce and chili powder in medium bowl. Form into 8 patties. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Grill patties to desired doneness. Top with salsa and serve on buns.
WW Points: *11 points per burger
These were extremely tasty! Never thought to put salsa on a burger but it's a great trick. While juicy and delish they seemed to fall a bit apart on the grill so watch out. Otherwise these are definitely worth giving a try.
Tid Bits:
*Be careful on the amount of wet ingredients you put into the mixture. It can make the meat fall apart.
Ma's Spot: I love hamburgers to begin with but these burgers changed your perspective on how good hamburgers can be. I've tried your basic dried onion soup mix in it and I've experminted with different flavors for burgers but this recipe was on the money. The flavor is nothing like I've had before. Th juiciness of it was out of this world. My son in law grilled these up on his grill but I suspect you can cook these up any way you want and they'd still be good. So this one was a hit out of the park. Remember to grill those buns for a added crispiness. PS. No cheese needed on this one!

Dinah: I'm doing this solo tonight since Ma would rather have a root canal than eat mac and cheese. So! It looks like it's just your blog mistress reviewing tonight's snack. Lets get right to it. Those crafty people at Goldfish decided to branch out from their mini snack and create the Goldfish mac and cheese. Being on Weight Watchers can provide some tricky issues with mac and cheese. Since pasta is so high in points and the powdered stuff isn't that great for you. Nonetheless this was the best tasting mac and cheese I've ever had. Weird right? I was expecting to hate it but it definitely brings on the cheese flavor and it actually is filling. So on your next trip to the grocery store pick up the fishies and taste them in a new way.
That's it for tonight folks. We'll see you here next Tuesday with another recipe. Have a great week guys!
