El Paso Burgers Recipes

EL PASO BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chuck with chilies, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and blend well, but gently.
• Form into 6 patties and grill, uncovered, about 4 inches from medium coals or other heat source until cooked to the degree desired.
• Turn once half way through cooking time.
• (To yield a juicy burger, do not mash burgers with spatula and check temperature with thermometer or T-stick.) One minute before burgers are done, add cheese and continue to cook until cheese is melted.
• Serve with grilled corn on the cob and a freshly tossed salad.

• In a large bowl, combine the onion, jalapeño peppers, seasoning mix and beef, mix well.
• Form into 8, 1/2 inch thick, patties.

TACO BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, grated onion and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the crushed tortilla chips and lightly combine. Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
• Place the patties on the grill over medium heat. Close grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness - about 10 minutes for medium. Top each patty with the cheese and cook just until the cheese melts.
• Layer the buns with sour cream, a patty, lettuce, tomato and salsa.

BRONCO BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, roast the jalapeno peppers until blackened on all sides. Place in a plastic bag to sweat and loosen the blackened skin. Rub the skin off, then seed if desired, and chop.
• In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together the chopped jalapenos, ground beef, salt, pepper, egg, steak sauce, onion, hot pepper sauce, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and Fritos®. Divide into 8 balls, and flatten into patties.
• Grill patties for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until well done. I always drink one beer, then flip, drink another beer, then remove from the grill and place on buns. Top each one with a slice of pepperjack cheese and pig out!
