Jalapenobaconburger Recipes

JALAPENO BACON BURGER

Steps:

• Toast hamburger bun.
• Start with bottom bun. Slather with mayo ( how much is dependent on personal taste.).
• Layer jalapeño, onion, and shredded lettuce.
• Add hamburger patty, and sliced cheese.
• Top with tomato, bacon, and top bun.

JALAPENO BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine ground beef and seasonings well, but don't overwork the meat! Form 2 patties out of the mixture.
• Grill burgers to your liking.
• Just before you take the burgers off the grill, top each burger with the jalapeno slices, a cheese slice, and finally 3 bacon slices. Once cheese starts to melt, remove from grill. (The cheese acts as a glue keeping everything together!).
• Put burgers on buns and enjoy! ***We like to top our burgers with sliced red onions and a big dollop of guacamole!

JALAPENO, AVOCADO AND BACON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium and place a cast-iron skillet on top. Add the chiles and cook until softened and the skin is charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the stems, skin and seeds; finely chop the chiles.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the skillet until crisp. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat; chop the bacon.
• In a large bowl, combine the chopped bacon, the reserved bacon fat, the beef and half of the chiles. Form into 6 patties; season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining chiles. Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate.
• In another bowl, toss the avocados, cilantro, onion and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
• Grill the burgers, flipping once, for about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Just before the burgers are finished cooking, grill the buns until toasted, about 1 minute. Place a burger on each bun bottom, top with some of the avocado salad, drizzle with some of the queso fresco dressing and set a bun top in place.
