There's nothing better than a great poolside dinner after spending the whole day sitting poolside and relaxing in the sun. It doesn't matter if it's by your own pool, a community pool, or at a friend's house with a pool. I know this since my mom has added a beautiful pool to her yard recently. We didn't have this treat growing up, but now I spend many hot days cooling off there.
Making a simple, easy dinner poolside to end your day is fun and relaxing and what's more classic than a great burger? I am going to give you a delicious twist on a classic burger: a southwestern stuffed burger, topped with summer corn salsa!! YUMMY!!!
Ariane's Southwestern Stuffed Burger with Summer Corn Salsa
2 lbs ground beef
8 oz Monterey Jack Cheese (or pepper jack for that little extra kick), grated
4-6 burger rolls
Salt and pepper
1 onion small dice
1 jalapeño small dice
3 ears corn, grilled and kernels removed from cob
1 tomato small dice (seeds removed)
1 T fresh cilantro chopped
2 limes juiced
Separate beef into 4- 6 oz balls. Using your hands, form beef balls into a patty shape. Create a hole in the center of the patty and stuff 2 oz of cheese into meat, then close meat over the cheese and form into patty with the cheese completely enclosed in the beef.
Season patties with salt and pepper and grill until burgers have reached the doneness you desire. About 10- 15 minutes.
In a bowl add the onion, jalapeno, corn, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste and spoon salsa onto your burger atop the bun.
Another small tip is to find a great bun for your burger!! It will really make a difference.
Enjoy.
Have a wonderful summer everybody!!!!
