Paula Deen & Sons Recipe
Burgers makes 5 servings; Cilantro mayonnaise makes about 1 cup; Spicy ketchup makes about 1 1/2 cups **I halved the burger recipe and made each patty 1/4 lb rather than 1/2 lb... which allows 3 burgers. I also made 1/4 of the mayo recipe, which was perfect for 3 burgers...

Pepper jack Burgers
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1/2 cup crushed French fried onions
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt

Mike loved this recipe - he always gets the spiciest burger he can find when we go to burger places, so I thought I'd try this for him. It was a little too much for me, but it was a nice change from ordinary hamburgers.
That is too funny! It is fun to see you doing new and out of the ordinary things to make your hubby happy :)
So I am curious to you found the french fried onions in the store and what on earth is adobo sauce?
And are you kidding? You ate them before you thought to take a picture? I guess they would have just looked like a hamburger, right?
french fried onions were right by the green beans just like you said! i don't know what adobo sauce is. but they sell "chipotle peppers in adobo sauce." but it was lame because this recipe called for ONE pepper... and now i have a whole can with nothing to do with. blah. yes, it looks like a boring hamburger :)
That is weird... so where did you find those peppers? In the mex food aisle? I guess that is what happens when you cook all fancy... LOL
yeah, its by all the green chilies and stuff
rachel ray uses chipotle peppers in adobo sauce all the time. see if you can find a recipe that sounds good and try it. i did one that i didn't like and all the rest of the peppers went bad. we just need to find 3 or 4 recipes that use them and we'll be in business. they ARE spicy, though!
