JALAPEñO CHEESEBURGERS WITH BACON AND GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• For spicy ranch sauce:
• Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• For burgers:
• Gently mix all ingredients in large bowl. Form mixture into eight 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick patties. Place on small baking sheet. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• For glaze:
• Stir first 5 ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat until coffee is dissolved. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter. Season glaze to taste with salt and pepper.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Working in batches if necessary, cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
• Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Toast buns until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer buns, cut side up, to plates. Place lettuce on each bun bottom. Grill burgers 5 minutes, basting with glaze. Turn burgers, baste with glaze, and grill until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium. Press cheese atop each burger and allow cheese to melt. Place some sauce, then 1 burger on each bun bottom. Top each with 2 slices bacon and desired additional toppings. Cover with bun top. Serve with remaining sauce.

JALAPENO BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine ground beef and seasonings well, but don't overwork the meat! Form 2 patties out of the mixture.
• Grill burgers to your liking.
• Just before you take the burgers off the grill, top each burger with the jalapeno slices, a cheese slice, and finally 3 bacon slices. Once cheese starts to melt, remove from grill. (The cheese acts as a glue keeping everything together!).
• Put burgers on buns and enjoy! ***We like to top our burgers with sliced red onions and a big dollop of guacamole!

SMOKY JALAPENO BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Seed and finely chop your jalapeno pepper.
• 2. Add ground beef and the chopped jalapeno to a bowl.

• 4. Add the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and mayo to another bowl. Whisk together.
• 5. Combine all ingredients into the bowl with the ground beef and thoroughly mix with your hands.
• 6. Divide the ground beef into four sections and make your patties.
• 7. Cook the burgers however you see fit. I grilled them and finished them off in the oven to help melt the cheese. You do what you see fit. Cooking them in a cast iron skillet would be remarkable.
• 8. Don't forget to cook your bacon! Fry in a skillet. Or, I put mine in the oven at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes depending on your oven the cooking time may vary.
• 9. Once your burgers are cooked, assemble them the way you see fit.
