Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Cheese Burgers

Spicy, salty, and cheesy combine for a delicious burger with all the flavors of a jalapeno popper!

I think this is probably the very best recipe that I have come across for burgers. I love jalapeno poppers so I knew I would like one a ton. It has all the elements of a jalapeno popper.

What you need:

• 1 lb. ground beef

• 1 jalapeno, minced

• 1/2 cup onion, chopped

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp. kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper

• 1/4 tsp. meat tenderizer (optional)

• 4 hamburger buns, grilled until golden brown

• 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp

• Sliced sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Mix together jalapenos, onions, salt and pepper.

2. Add ground beef and egg and mix to combine, make sure not to over mix or you will end up with a tough burger.

3. Form into four patties and chill for a half hour.

4. Cook on the grill or in a skillet until browned on each side and cooked through.

5. Serve topped with cheddar cheese and bacon, plus any additional condiments.
