Ingredients

  • 4 lbs ground chuck
  • 5 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 1 egg
  • 14 cup Heinz 57 steak sauce
  • 14 cup minced white onion
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce or 1 teaspoon your favorite hot pepper sauce
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 14 cup Fritos corn chips, crushed
  • 8 large hamburger buns
  • 8 slices monterey jack pepper cheese
  • lettuce
  • sliced tomatoes
  • sliced onion
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Preheat a grill to high heat.
  • When the grill is ready, roast the jalapeno peppers until blackened on all sides.
  • Place the peppers in a plastic bag to sweat and loosen the blackened skin.
  • Rub the skin off the peppers (use disposable latex gloves), then seed and dice (leaving seeds will increase the "heat" alot).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, pepper, egg, steak sauce, onion, hot pepper sauce, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and Fritos.
  • Divide meat mixture into 8 balls and flatten into patties.
  • Grill patties for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once (burgers are done at 160 degrees F).
  • Butter the hamburger buns and either place on grill or warm in oven.
  • Remove hamburger buns and dress with lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced onion.
  • Top each burger just before removing from grill with a slice of pepperjack cheese allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
  • Remove each of the burgers from the grill and place on buns.
