How to Make Grilled Jalapeno Buffalo Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground buffalo, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped jalapenos (remove seeds for less heat), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing, which can make the burgers tough.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Lightly brush your grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
  6. Place the patties on the grill approximately 4 inches from the heat source.
  7. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  8. **For the Jalapeno Buffalo Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 10-12 fresh jalapenos (stems removed).
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  10. Drain the jalapenos and let them cool slightly.
  11. Once cool enough to handle, remove the stems and roughly chop the jalapenos.
  12. Add the chopped jalapenos to a blender along with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  13. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  14. Serve the grilled buffalo burgers on buns with your homemade jalapeno buffalo sauce, your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, etc.).
