Ingredients
  

Guacamole

  • 3 Avocados ripe
  • 8 Cloves Roasted Garlic med size
  • 1/2 Cup Pico de Gallo
  • 1 Tbsp Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Lime for juice
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 15 Dashes Green Tabasco Sauce

Burger

  • 2 Lbs Ground Chuck Beef 80% lean / 20% fat
  • 4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 4 Slices Pepper Jack Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • 4 Hamburger Buns

Instructions
 

Guacamole

  • First we'll roast the garlic. Preheat oven to 375 and peel the garlic cloves. Place cloves in some aluminum foil with a small amount of olive oil. Wrap and place in oven for 25 min.
  • Peel and de-seed the avocados. Place them in a large covered container along with all the other ingredients (pico, cilantro, salt, Worcestershire, Tabasco).
  • Halve the lime and squeeze juice into container.
  • Once the garlic is ready, mash the cloves with a fork and add to the other ingredients.
  • Mix all ingredients, mashing the avocados. This is easiest to do with a potato masher if you have one. Otherwise you can use a large fork. You want it fairly mixed/mashed up but with a little bit of chunkiness remaining. Refrigerate when done.

Burger

  • Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
  • Salt & pepper the ground beef and then divide into 8oz (1/2 lb) portions (or you can use smaller 6oz portions). Flatten into patties that are about 1/2 inch larger than the buns
  • Put a thumbprint in the middle of the patty so it doesn’t puff up when cooking.
  • Grill your burgers about 4min on the first side.
  • Flip burgers and immediately add cheese. Cook until you reach the correct temp (140F for medium), usually about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread some sour cream on the top of the bun. Place the burger on the bottom and add guacamole. Add a few dashes of green Tabasco for a bit more kick.
