One of my favorite burgers to date. You can make it as spicy or not as you would like to. We made our very spicy but when we have company over and serve them we cook up the "less spicy" batch. The only change I made to the recipe is the amount of garlic. I reduced it by 1/2. A really enjoyable meal. Read More

This is a great burger. Since I discovered it in July 2002 I have made it several times. I now make up a batch every so often and freeze them in FoodSaver bags. Now when I am in the mood for a spicy burger I just take one out of the freezer and slap it down on the grill. In 20 minutes it is ready just the way I like it. And since I have grown my own Jalapeno peppers this year this recipe is even better. I first shared this with my buddies in July at our Annual Boys Night Out. I can tell you this is a tough crowd to please and they all loved it. Read More

These were pretty good burgers. Since it is just myself and my husband we cut the recipe in half to make 4 burgers - and froze 2 of the patties for another day. The only thing we did differently was substituted 2 cayanne peppers from our garden for the fresh peppers in the recipe. Read More
