Yum! After all of the parts are assembled these go together quickly. I was almost afraid of using the full 3 T of grill spices (I was using montreal) and 1/2 cup of jalapenos (I seeded them), but plunged ahead anyway. The patties ARE spicy, but not over the top hot. the patties are very generous servings. I used prepared tortilla strips from the salad aisle rather than chips and served with Sweet Potato Fries #478530 by threeovens. Thank you for a terrific meal!

Made for ZWT-8 because 1 of my greatest pleasures is giving into my "hamburger hunger". They try here in Iceland, but they just can't match US stds. My DH absent on a fishing trip, I halved your recipe. Even then it made 2 huge portions, but I liked that & suspect it was the point. The caramelized onions were divine! I did reduce the "jalapeno heat" by half & pan-grill them vs the outdoor grill w/DH gone. I was so in "hamburger heaven" that I got stingy & froze burger #2 for another time when "hamb hunger" overpowers me again. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. Yum!

This is a really nice restaurant burger. Very easy to put together. We used american cheese rather than provolone. I replaced guacamole for ketchup on my burger, but DH went with the guac because he likes it. It's got a nice kick to it too from the jalapenos. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
