Recipe: Taco Burgers

Taco Burger

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup diced onions

In large bowl, combine all ingredients.  Mix well.  Shape into 6 patties. Grill or fry until desired doneness.  Serve on hamburger buns with your favorite taco toppings.  Makes 6 servings.

Hamburgers and hot dogs were traditional Independence Day fare when I was a kid.  I read recently that over 150 million hot dogs will be cooked on the 4th of July.  That is a lot of hot dogs!  I like tradition.  I like the memories a family tradition creates.  This year I am shaking up the family tradition a little by grilling up a batch of these burgers for the 4th of July.  My mother approves, so it is okay.  The taco seasoning is not overpowering in this recipe, but adds an unexpected flavor that is sure to please the crowd gathered around the grill.

Have a Happy 4th of July! 

Today on my radio segment called Fast Food Friday on the PCL Radio Network, I had the privilege of interviewing Pam of Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner.  Pam was the winner of MY KIND OF COOKING COOKBOOK for the month of June.  It was so much FUN!  Pam mailed us two delicious recipes to taste while we did the interview.  She made a delicious Hawaiian Pineapple Bread and Chocolate Chunk Butterscotch Blondies.  Everyone loved them and you will too!  Pam has posted the recipes on her blog.

On today's show we also did the drawing for a free copy of my cookbook .
