Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until most of liquid has evaporated. Set aside. 2. Shape beef into 8 thin patties 3-1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture in center of 4 of the patties. Top with remaining patties. Pinch together edges of each double patty, making sure all edges are well-sealed. 3. Place burgers on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 12 minutes; turn. Brush burgers with 1/4 cup of the Latino Barbecue Catsup. Grill 12 to 14 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degree F. Toast buns on grill, if desired. To serve, place the burgers on the buns. Pass remaining Latino Barbecue Catsup.
