Barbecue Jalapeño Burgers

Author: Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 1.3 lbs Lean Ground Meat
  • 1/2 large Yellow Onion
  • 1 large Jalapeno
  • 2 tsp Minced Onion dried
  • 2 tsp Parsley
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cheddar/Jack Cheese Optional
  • 1/2 cup Homemade Barbecue Sauce
  • All your favorite hamburger fixings!

Instructions

  • Pre-heat cast iron pan to medium. These work well on the BBQ too!
  • Roughly chop onion and jalapeño and throw it in your food processor. Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, until the onion and the jalapeño are finely chopped.
  • Using your hands gently combine jalapeño/onion mixture, meat, minced onion, parsley, and salt. The more you work the meat the tougher it will become so only mix until just combined.
  • Form patties, this mixture makes about six. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Once your cast iron is pre-heated add a swirl of olive oil. Then add burger patties.
  • When the patties are cooked half way through, flip and reduce the heat to medium low.
  • Add barbecue sauce to the tops of the burgers and then add a thin slice of cheese (optional).
  • Cover cast iron with a lid and let burgers continue cooking, about 5-8 minutes. 
  • Serve with your favorite fixings and Paleo Sandwich thins instead of a bun.
