Chipotle Olé! Peppered Bacon Burger

IMG_9009

Okay okay I know. I really cringe when I hear the word chipotle. Why? Because it has been the “new” thing in cooking for the last couple years. You know when McShizzle’s has it on their menu the word is over used. I guess I’m old school and don’t like “new” things when it comes to cooking. If your really fascinated by what a Chipotle pepper is check it out here.

So since I’m tired of the word Chipotle I decided to make a burger with Chipotle in it and actually put the word Chipotle in the name! I’m just a rebel even against myself.

Next week I will get back to something southern. Red beans and rice so save your Beano until then.

Ingredients:

3 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 8 oz can chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 medium red onion
1 tablespoon garlic pepper
1 tablespoon season salt
1/2 lb peppered bacon
brown sugar
1 tomato, sliced
lettuce
pickles
1 package Tillamook Sliced Chedder (Go Beavers!)
Kaiser Rolls
1/2 stick butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Place strips of bacon on a wire rack over a cookie sheet covered in foil. Sprinkle each piece of bacon with brown sugar. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes. Cook longer if you like crisper bacon but keep an eye on it. Put aside.

Peppered Bacon

Slice onion in half. Take one half and slice for burgers and set aside. Finely chop the other half and add to ground beef. Add garlic pepper and season salt to ground beef. Remove chipotles from can and save liquid. Chop Chipotles and add them plus the liquid to ground beef. Mix by hand well.

Form hamburger patties by hand and set aside. Slice buns in half and set aside. Melt butter.

Fire up your grill and let it get to temperature. Grill hamburgers until desired doneness. When ready to pull off grill put one slice of cheese then remove from grill.

Baste insides of kaiser buns with butter and put on grill until toasty. Just takes a few minutes.

Put miracle whip on the buns (okay some of you are gagging use mayo then!) followed by burger, bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato and pickles (I used homemade but I’m sure Mr. Vlasic would appreciate your business). Put some nice deli mustard on top of that and eat!
