Chipotle Burger Patties

1 lb Ground Sirloin 90% lean
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 Green Onion, finely minced
1 Tbsp Chipotle Puree*
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1/2 Egg, beaten (1 fl oz)
2 fl oz Tomato Juice**

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together everything but the meat.
Add the meat to the bowl and knead by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout. Divide into 4 pieces, about 5 oz each, and press into round flat patties about 5 inches wide. For easiest grilling, freeze before use: spray wax paper with cooking spray and place patties on it. Put in the freezer uncovered until frozen. Stack patties divided by wax paper into a gallon size freezer bag and return to freezer until needed.

* Chipotle Paste is made by pureeing canned chipotles in adobo sauce. It can be kept indefinitely in the refrigerator.
**V8 juice can be used. I keep 5.5oz cans on hand for a variety of recipes.
