- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (GI: 20, Carbs: 4g)
- Salt (GI: 0, Carbs: 0g)
- Black pepper (GI: 0, Carbs: 0g)
- Havarti cheese with horseradish (GI: 0, Carbs: 0g)

Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, salt, and black pepper. Blend until you have a smooth chipotle paste.
- In a large bowl, gently mix the chipotle paste with the ground beef chuck until well-combined, being careful not to overmix. Form the mixture into evenly-sized burger patties.
- Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For well-done burgers, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- While the burgers are cooking, slice the Havarti cheese into thin slices.
- During the last minute of cooking, place the Havarti cheese slices on top of each burger, allowing them to melt slightly.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
- Assemble your burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices, or any other desired toppings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chipotle Beef Chuck Burgers!
