Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Yoplait® plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup chopped, seeded cucumber
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped, seeded fresh jalapeño chile pepper
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces 90% lean ground beef
  • Indian flat bread (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    For sauce: In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and cucumber. Cover and chill until serving time.
  • Step 
    2
    In a medium bowl, combine onion, jalapeño pepper, mint, cumin, garlic, and salt. Add ground beef; mix well. Form beef mixture into two 3/4-inch-thick patties.
  • Step 
    3
    For a charcoal grill, place patties on the rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 14 to 18 minutes or until patties are done (160°F), turning once. If desired, serve patties on flat bread. Spoon cucumber sauce over patties.
  • Step

    Note: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A beef or pork patty cooked to 160°F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
