Jalapeño Cheddar Bacon Burger

Looking for something great to make this weekend?

Caleb and I are always up for trying new recipes. Sometimes I even like to think I'm inventive and attempt to create my own recipes. Sometimes the result is yummy {rhubarb compote} {sweet and spicy French toast} {spinach quiche} and sometimes the result is awful... like the eggplant parm episode of 2008... YUCK!

So Tuesday, when I told Caleb I was going to try something new he bravely went along for the ride. I didn't try anything too crazy and the result was one of my better attempts at culinary independence.

Jalapeño Cheddar Buffalo Burgers

Indredients:

1 pound ground buffalo

1 jalapeño pepper

1/2 cup shredded cheddar

1/8 tsp salt

Ground pepper

Garlic Powder

A couple dashes of hot sauce (or more depending on your taste)

Directions:

1. Prepare the grill or preheat a pan to medium high heat.

2. Cook bacon until crisp and set aside to use as a topping.

3. Finely chop pepper and grate cheese if using blocked cheese like I did (I think this tastes better)

4. Mix together all ingredients and form into patties.

5. Cooked until desired "doneness" (is that a word???)

6. Top with bacon and serve on a bun with desired toppings!

They were absolutely delicious!!! And obviously you could substitute ground beef or turkey, but I love that buffalo is low in fat. I served our burgers with an avocado, black bean and corn salad.

Yum!
