McDunnah Burgers

The McDunnah Burger is a stripped-down, no-fuss burger with serious flavor from just two toppings: guacamole and melted Monterey Jack. Sometimes the best burgers aren’t the ones loaded with fifteen toppings. Sometimes it’s just good meat, good cheese, and one killer condiment.

The guacamole goes on while the patty is still hot off the grill so it warms slightly and gets even creamier against the melted cheese. That combo of cool avocado richness and gooey Monterey Jack on a charred patty is hard to beat.

Grill the buns too. A toasted bun holds up to the guacamole without going soggy, and those grill marks add a subtle smoky crunch.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh guacamole, not the shelf-stable kind. The flavor difference is night and day.
• Melt the cheese on the patty during the last minute of grilling with the lid closed for even coverage.
• Season your patty generously with salt and pepper before grilling. With only two toppings, the meat flavor has to carry.

Variations

• Add pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Swap Monterey Jack for pepper jack to build in more heat.
• Try a smashed patty style with crispy lacy edges for extra texture.
