Servings: persons

1 lb extra lean ground beef (90% or higher)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (or 1/4 tsp. Mrs Dash Chipotle Seasoning Blend -this is what I used)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion, undrained
6 hamburger buns (I used whole wheat)
6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or any cheese you like)
1 dill pickle, cut into long thin slices (optional)

1
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat (adding a spray of cooking spray or a drop of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking).
2
Brown the beef until no longer pink, draining fat.
3
Add onions and garlic and saute along with the drained beef for about 2 minutes, to cook the onions.
4
Add cumin, chili powder, and Mrs Dash Chipotle seasoning and cook about 30 seconds.
5
Lower heat a bit, add ketchup, canned tomatoes with their liquid and cook about 6 minutes, or until liquid has absorbed.
6
Taste for seasonings and add more chipotle blend if you prefer (I like it spicy so I added more).
7
Spoon cooked mixture onto buns and top each with a couple of pickle slices and a slice of cheese.
8
NOTE: If you are subbing beans for half of the meat,drained them & rinse them and add then when you add the tomatoes.
