SUNNY'S EASY ON YOUR BODY AND LEAN JALAPENO BURGER



Sunny's Easy On Your Body and Lean Jalapeno Burger image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (97 percent meat, 3 percent fat)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon salt-free Southwestern seasoning blend
Freshly ground black pepper
4 jalapenos
4 slices American cheese
4 whole wheat burger buns, warmed
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups thinly shredded iceberg lettuce
Yellow mustard (optional)

Steps:

  • For the grill: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • Crumble the beef into a large bowl. Add the salt, seasoning blend and some pepper. Mix the beef mixture gently with your hands so as to not overmix. Just fold the ground beef, don't mush or squeeze the ingredients into the beef. Form 4 patties.
  • Place the patties and the jalapenos over the direct heat of the grill or into the cast-iron pan. Cook the patties on one side until the meat is seared and releases easily from the grill grates or pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the patties and rotate the jalapenos to get them charred on both sides. Cook until desired doneness on the beef, 3 to 4 more minutes for medium-rare to medium.
  • For the toppings: Top the burgers with the cheese and transfer to a plate or sheet pan. Cover with aluminum foil for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the charred jalapenos and chop. Spread over the cheese on the burgers.
  • Squeeze mustard on both the top and bottom buns if desired. Build the burgers by topping the bottom buns with the cheeseburgers, jalapenos, a pile of red onions, a pile of lettuce and the top buns. Serve.

LATIN BURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED ONION AND JALAPENO RELISH AND RED PEPPER MAYONNAISE



Latin Burgers with Caramelized Onion and Jalapeno Relish and Red Pepper Mayonnaise image

Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 pound ground sirloin
3/4 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound raw chorizo, casings removed and crumbled
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1 large onion, grated
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow onions, finely sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup bottled and sliced jalapeno chiles, drained
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 medium jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
6 slices Oaxaca cheese or mozzarella
6 hamburger rolls

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix thoroughly by hand the ground beef, the chorizo, the adobo seasoning, the grated onion and the bread crumbs. Form the burgers into 6 patties without pressing them too much or they can become tough. Line a baking pan with waxed paper and put the burgers side-by-side in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the burgers hold together. If you make more than you need just separate with waxed paper and insert into a storage freezer bag for future use.;
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Add the jalapeno chiles and the brown sugar. Saute for 15 minutes or until the onion and the chiles are caramelized and soft. Set aside.;
  • Drain the roasted red peppers and put them in a blender or food processor. Add the mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper. Puree the mayonnaise and roasted red peppers until well combined and the mixture is smooth. NOTE: This may be done up to 2 days ahead of time, and in fact the flavor will be more complete with an overnight chilling.;
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on the stove top over medium-high heat. Place the burgers on the hot grill or pan until cooked to desired doneness. Due to the raw chorizo in the recipe, at least medium-well is recommended, approximately 10 minutes on each side. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, top the burgers with the slices of cheese so it can melt. If your grill has a lid, putting it on briefly will help the cheese melt quickly and evenly.
  • To serve: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the red pepper mayonnaise on both sides of the rolls. Lay a burger on the bottom halves, and top with a couple of spoonfuls of the caramelized onion and jalapeno relish.

JALAPENO CHEDDAR BURGERS



Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers image

I used to saute onions and fresh jalapenos to top our grilled cheeseburgers. Not any more! I mix the chopped fresh jalapenos, onions and shredded cheddar right into the hamburger patties. Oh, my. To complete the flavor attack you could add slices of crispy bacon to the pile....your choice!

Provided by keepcalmandcallyour

Categories     Meat

Time 15m

Yield 4 hamburgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup red onion
1 teaspoon season salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Finely chop the red onions and jalapenos. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Form hamburger patties and grill like normal.

Tips:

  • Use firm lentils: For the best texture, use firm lentils like brown or black lentils. They hold their shape better than softer lentils, such as red lentils.
  • Don't overcook the lentils: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and won't hold their shape well in the burgers.
  • Use a good quality breadcrumb: The breadcrumbs help to bind the burgers together and add texture. Use a good quality breadcrumb, such as panko breadcrumbs or homemade breadcrumbs made from stale bread.
  • Season the burgers well: Don't be afraid to season the burgers well. Lentils can be a bit bland, so you'll need to add plenty of spices and herbs to make them flavorful.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cook the burgers over medium heat to prevent them from burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Lentil burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served on buns with your favorite toppings, or they can be crumbled and used as a taco filling.

Conclusion:

Lentil burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. They are also relatively easy to make, and they can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, or just looking for a healthier burger option, lentil burgers are a great choice.
