A burger with condiments built right in

No condiments needed for this high-flavor barbecue-style cheeseburger — they are built right in.

For ease — and let’s face it, awesome taste — I took your basic beef burger and mixed in pureed chipotles in adobo sauce, a healthy splash of barbecue sauce (use your favorite brand) and some garlic. But why stop there? I also stuffed the burger with a mix of cheddar cheese and chopped black olives.

To round it out, I mixed together a simple bell pepper slaw to form a creamy-crispy bed for the burger. Of course, you can keep it simple by substituting whichever prepared slaw you prefer.

This recipe also welcomes playing. To jack up the heat, up the chipotles. You also could add some smoked paprika and garlic powder. And there would be nothing wrong with adding yet more cheese to the top.
