Don't forget the buns! Rudi's hamburger buns are on sale through memorial day weekend!

Directions

• Combine cumin, chipotle, salt, garlic, onion and ground beef in large mixing bowl. Shape in to 4 patties.

• Grill patties over high heat for 5 minutes. Flip over and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
