SIZZLING SOUTHWEST BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, taco seasoning mix, bell pepper and onion using your hands. Form into 6 patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook burger patties for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Place buns cut side down onto the grill to toast during the last minute or so. Top each burger with a slice of cheese before removing from the grill. Serve burgers on toasted buns topped with salsa and sour cream.

MISSISSIPPI SLUGBURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the crusts off the bread slices. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until dry and toasted, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer toasted bread to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you reach coarse crumbs.
• Place ground chuck, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into a bowl. Add bread crumbs. Combine with your fingers, breaking apart the meat.
• Dampen your fingers with water and form mixture into hamburger patties.
• Heat ¼ to ½ inch vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place a patty into the pan and turn heat down to medium. Cook until well browned and crusty, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil if needed.
• Remove from the pan and serve on hamburger buns with mustard and pickles; sprinkle tops of patties with chili powder and/or cayenne if you like prior to serving.

WOLFGANG PUCK'S CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F (200 to 230 degrees C)).
• Stir together mayonnaise, red onion, ketchup, vinegar, capers, parsley, thyme, and sugar in a small bowl until combined.
• Place beef in a large bowl. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix by hand until just combined. Make 12 meatballs by rolling beef mixture between your palms; transfer to a baking sheet. Flatten tops slightly. Drizzle with oil and season both sides with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Arrange patties on oiled grates; grill, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Flip, then top each with 1 piece cheese. Grill, uncovered, until cheese is melted and beef is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, put buns, cut-sides down, on grate; grill until toasted, about 1 minute.
• Top bun bottoms with a small spoonful of sauce. Add a patty, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, cornichon slices, and bun tops.
