Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef, more if you want larger burgers
6 tablespoons refried beans
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, deveined and finely chopped (or milder)
4 tablespoons sweet onions, chopped
4 tablespoons hot salsa
4 slices mozzarella cheese (or other cheese)
8 mushrooms, cleaned & sliced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
4 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
1 medium tomatoes, washed and chopped
4 slices crisp fried bacon, crumbled
4 long Italian rolls (or regular hamburger buns)
salt & pepper

Steps:

Divide the hamburger into 4 equal portions and make two patties from each portion (if using Italian buns make the patties oblong to fit the bun) On 4 of the 8 patties put a tbsp of refied beans, sprinkle on some jalapeno pepper and a tbsp of onions, salt& pepper Place the second pattie on top and firmly seal.
Really pat them so they won't fall apart while cooking.
If BBQing I recommend that you use a stir fry pan or use a solid grill to cook them in/on to ensure they do not end up as the fuel for the BBQ.
These burgers are delicate because there is no filler in them.
Or pan fry When the burgers are cooked on one side (apprx 6 minutes) flip and.
add mushrooms, cover with a lid and finish cooking.
Slit the buns and start toasting one side, when browned slightly add cheese and continue heating until the cheese has melted Assemble the Burger, Butter the bun if you wish, put in the bacon& mushrooms then the burger, top with the salsa, avacado& sour cream.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
1/2 c shredded, cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp each - salt & pepper
1/4 c grated onion
1/4 - 1/3 c salsa - i use medium heat
1 1/2 c crushed, corn chips
shredded colby jack for melting on top - or your favorite
velveeta cheesy jalapeno ranch dressing
Toasted buns
sliced jalapenos , sliced onion, lettuce, etc...- optional

Steps:

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, chili powder, salsa, grated onion until thoroughly blended.
2. Make patties - however many and big as you desire. Grill, broil or I used my George Foreman grill. Don't press on your burgers during cooking, or they won't be as juicy. When cooked to your desired doneness, add cheese and continue cooking until melted. Add cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Toast buns on the grill, skillet or broiler. I butter the buns first. Help them to brown.
3. You can now add desired condiments to your sandwich. I used sliced jalapenos in a jar, onion, lettuce and Velveeta Cheesy Jalapeno Ranch Dressing...it goes so well with this burger...I hope you'll try it...you won't be disappointed.
4. Note: This recipe can easily be doubled if cooking for a crowd...
