JALAPEÑO SMASH BURGERS

Bring the Heat to Your Backyard BBQ with Jalapeño Smash Burgers

Ingredients:

For the Burger Sauce

• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp mustard

• A splash of Worcestershire sauce
• Garlic powder, to taste
• Onion powder, to taste

Preparation:

1. Season the meat with onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2. Divide the ground beef into small balls.
3. Flatten each ball using a tortilla press to create thin burger patties.
4. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the hot griddle.
5. Cook until the patties start to brown, then flip and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the griddle and set aside.
6. On the same griddle, add the sliced white onion and jalapeños. Season with a little more garlic salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion begins to soften. Remove from the griddle.
7. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chopped pickles, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
8. Place the burger patties back on the griddle and top each one with yellow cheese. Cook until the cheese melts.
9. To assemble, spread the sauce on the buns, add the cheesy smash burger patty, and top with the cooked jalapeño and onion mixture.
10. Serve hot and enjoy.
