How to Make Bacon Jalapeno Burgers With Chipotle Mayonnaise

  1. **Chipotle Mayonnaise:**
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. **Burgers:**
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Divide the mixture into four equal portions (approximately 1/3 lb each).
  6. Gently shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Grill or pan-fry the patties for 4-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with 1 slice of cheddar cheese and cover to melt.
  9. While the burgers cook, grill 1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds, until slightly charred and softened (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  10. Remove burgers and onions from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Toast your burger buns.
  12. Place a burger on each bun bottom. Top with 2 slices of bacon (about 4 slices total) and 4-5 jalapeño slices per burger.
  13. Spread chipotle mayonnaise on the top bun. Place a grilled onion round on top of the mayo.
  14. Add lettuce (optional), and top with the top bun.
