caribbean burgers with mango salsa

Spicy, sweet and oh-so-simple. Ground Beef gets a peppery boost from jerk seasoning, and the freshly chopped mango salsa gives the dish a cool finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons Caribbean jerk seasoning
  • salt
  • TOPPINGS
  • 1 large mango, peeled, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

  1. Combine Ground Beef and jerk seasoning in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
  2. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 15 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 13 to 14 minutes), until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Season with salt, as desired.
  3. Meanwhile, combine salsa ingredients in medium bowl, mixing lightly. Serve burgers with salsa.

    Cook's Tip: If using 95% Lean Ground Beef, combine Ground Beef with 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs, 1 egg white and ingredients as directed in step 1.

    Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

    Cook's Tip: Burgers may be served open-faced on thick slices of Hawaiian or Challah bread, if desired. Toast bread on the grill.
