burger patties
- 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
- 1/2 cup salsa drained
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
- Mix all burger patty ingredients in a large bowl until completely combined.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, roll each portion into a ball then place on the prepared baking sheet. Press the balls flat and make a small indentation in the center of each ball to help keep them flat during cooking.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake the patties for 25 minutes.
- Place a cheese slice on each patty then put back in the oven for 3 more minutes to melt the cheese.
- Allow the patties to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before placing them on the buns. Garnish your burgers with any of your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Make a small indentation in the middle of the burger with the back of a spoon. This will keep your burgers from doming up on you while they cook.
