Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground buffalo meat
- 3 whole Jalapenos
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato (sliced)
- 2 tbsp Hot sauce
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the jalapenos thoroughly and lightly brush them with olive oil.
Place the jalapenos on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are charred and softened. Remove them from the grill, let them cool, and then slice them into rings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground buffalo meat, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped onion. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until the desired level of doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute until they are golden and lightly crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce to create a spicy burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the spicy mayo mixture on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the grilled buffalo patty with melted cheese, and a few slices of grilled jalapenos. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the Grilled Jalapeno Buffalo Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
