"His" Burgers

We have some jalapenos in our garden so I wanted to use some in burgers.  I used Pioneer Woman's "his" burger recipe (minus bacon) as a jumping off point, and they were SO delicious!

Ingredients for 4 burgers - Adapted from PW

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground pepper
2 squirts Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup milk
Bakery buns (much better than the bagged hamburger buns)

Mix all of these ingredients together in a bowl and then form into four hamburger patties.  Grill them over medium heat and melt cheese over top.

Toppings

Fresh slices of jalapenos, seeded
Hot pepper cheese slices
Ketchup
Tomatoes
Pinch of fresh cilantro leaves

We melted some cheese on top, covered them with fresh jalapenos and then added ketchup and tomatoes because they would have been dry.  I was going to make chipotle mayo for the buns but these were already really spicy and that would have taken them over my limit. 

The burgers themselves were so moist and yummy - and I loved the spiciness. 

Hamburger Patties & Special Sauce

I heard about a burger recipe from a friend that I really wanted to try but I had to tweak it a little bit.  Here's what I ended up using:

1 lb. ground beef (85/15)
1/4 cup grated hot pepper blend cheese
1/8 cup BBQ sauce
1 T onion flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together with your hands and then form them into 4 patties.  Make an indent in the middle of each patty. 

I served them on grilled sesame seed buns with avocado, tomato, lettuce and special sauce.

Special Sauce is basically just fry sauce, with Worcestershire sauce added and some salt.  I just eyed how much ketchup, mayo and Worcestershire to mix and added a dash of salt.  I like what it added to the burger. 

My friend said it was "restaurant quality".  They were delicious.

Happy BBQing!

spicy burgers with chipotle cream.

I made THESE delicious burgers last night.  They are super easy to make and FULL of flavor.  Everyone said they were "amazing".  I will definitely make these again.  I served them with tomatoes and avocado on top.  I couldn't find poblano chiles at the store, so I used another kind.  I think any medium heat pepper will work.  Make these at your next BBQ!
