Get Your Grill On!

I haven't personally tried this one yet but it is on the list of things to cook.

JALEPENO-BLEU CHEESE BURGERS

This particular recipe is for 4 people. But depending on the size you make your burgers - you may want to double it up.

2 pounds ground beef
6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
8 ounces crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 hamburger buns, split
Preheat a grill for high heat.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, jalapeno peppers, blue cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, tamari and salt.

Mix well using your hands.

Pat lightly into 4 large fat patties.

Place patties on the grill, and cook for about 8 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, and cover the grill until the cheese melts. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

See? I told you it was easy. If you have to ask about calorie/fat content - you probably shouldnt make them. But if you are worried about the fat content - use ground turkey instead of the beef.

So cook some up... add them to your 4th of July menu! Let me know how they come out!
