Guacamole Burgers - Austin Style

A couple of weeks ago Dad was telling us how he remembered eating these delicious Guacamole burgers back in the late 70s - early 80s at a place called "Hamburger Hill" in Oak Hill, Texas.  Then it dawned on us.... why not make them ourselves?  So we used our favorite Gaucamole Dip recipe to make our own.  They were absolutely delicious, and we have a feeling they are going to become a staple!  Which is great, since we make lots of guacamole dip to go with Mexican food, which we seem to manage eating about 2-3 times a week.  Now, on to how to make your own fantastic burger.... enjoy!!

Mexican Burgers - Austin Style

• Guacamole Dip - recipe below
• lettuce
• pico de gallo - optional, but delicious
  
• cooked meat patty with cheese (cooked like you would for a regular burger)
  
• toasted hamburger bun

Slather a layer of guacamole dip on both top and bottom of toasted bun (can add more as your taste desires).  Starting at bottom of bun, layer as follows: meat patty with melted cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo.  Put on bun top.  Eat with french fries and Mexican coke.

Guacamole Dip

Hamburger Hill was GREAT! I remember it when it was at the "Y" in Oak Hill. I may be wrong, but I think they also put bacon on their guac burger....either way, yours looks great.
