Jalapeño Burgers

Same evening as the Three Alarm Chicken, finally tried a recipe I have desired to try for a long time. Minced Jalapeño mixed right into the burger. I wasn't too interested in making several kinds of burgers to accommodate for people that like different levels of spice. Before I go into everything, I should list the recipe:

Burger-

• 2 lbs ground beef (Extra Lean)
• 1 Onion (Small White, Minced)
• 1 Jalapeño (Minced)
• 2 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 Tbs Corn Starch
  
• 1 Tbs Tabasco Sauce
  
• 1 Tbs Black pepper
• 1 Tbs Salt

Extras-

• Potato Hamburger Buns (Albertson's Brand)
• Apple smoked Bacon, Peppered (Albertson's special)
• Swiss Cheese (Albertson's Mild Nutty)
• Lettuce
• Mayonnaise
• Ketchup
• Mustard

To reduce the spice in the Jalapeños, once minced placed them in a small dish and heated in the microwave for 1 minute, then took all the ingredients and combined in mixer on low speed. They did not form as well as I would have liked, but by the time they were cooked, they were perfectly firm. Burgers were grilled in a high flame for about a minute before barbecue was covered and burgers were allowed to smoke. Bacon was barbecued for a shorter period of time till lightly crispy and then placed on burgers with swiss cheese over the top. Burgers were smoked till cheese was melted, which wasn't long. :) Buns were also toasted for a few seconds

People picked their extras as they desired. Burgers were EXCELLENT. Mild spice and lots of flavor. I think next time I'll opt for two two kinds of burgers, mine without cooking the Jalapeño beforehand.

Maybe some Habanero next time?

On a side note, there was an intention of white mushroom slices under the cheese with the bacon, but was overlooked at the key time.

Happy Grilling!
