The Man Burger
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground chuck
1 tbsp. minced jalapeno
2 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning
2 tsp. minced onion
3 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
2 cheese slices
4 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese, divided
1/4 c. mayo
1 tbsp. A1 sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
For the beetroot relish:
Instructions:
Serves 2.
Buns and your favorite burger toppings (I kept it simple and just added fried onions) Loosely combine ground chuck, jalapeno, seasoning, onion, bacon, and 2 tbsp. blue cheese. Divide the meat in half and form 2 patties. Press your thumb in the center of each patty to prevent the patty from shrinking up in the center while grilling. Grill the patties to your preferred “doneness”. While the patties are grilling, mix together the remaining 2 tbsp. of blue cheese, mayo, A1 sauce, a sprinkle of salt, and pepper.
Toast the buns on the grill beside the burgers. Smear the top of the burger bun with half of the blue cheese mayo. Top the patty with your other favorite burger toppings and enjoy.
