Ingredients for Amy S Spicy Hamburgers

  • Lean Hamburger
  • Green Chili Peppers
  • Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 large egg
  • Rolled Oats
  • Hamburger Buns

How to Make Amy S Spicy Hamburgers

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can result in tough burgers.
  3. Divide the mixture into six equal portions and form into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  6. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as sharp cheddar cheese and steak sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
