Southwestern Backyard Burgers
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Whether you're in the stadium parking lot or on your patio, these Southwestern-style burgers are great on the grill. Sometimes I make six patties rather than eight because I like my burgers bigger and better! —Robert Hodges, San Diego, California
