The Dude Cheeseburger


So I've been on a little bit of a spicy kick lately and decided to alter what I usually do in making cheeseburgers!  These definitely aren't for the whole family...we don't want little tongues burned off, so make sure you make separate, normal burgers for those who don't like spicy stuff!  I made 2 pounds on cheeseburgers, kinda by accident so make sure if you're using LESS meat to adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground hamburger
2-3 Tbs Habanero sauce
1-2 Tbs Red Pepper flakes
1 Tbs Red Chili Powder
2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp Liquid Smoke
2 tsp each Salt and Pepper
2 tsp each onion and garlic powder
2 tsp dijon mustard
 * I was going to use minced jalapeno peppers, but realized I didn't have any!

 *MAKE SURE YOU DON'T RUB OR EYES OR YOUR FACE UNTIL YOU WASH YOUR HANDS WELL!
Put hamburger in a bowl and add all ingredients.  Using your hands squish it all together until thouroughly mixed.  This will make about 10-12 patties.  I recommend making the patties about as big as your palm or a little beyond and fairly flat and thin as they will shrink quite a bit during cooking.

All I can say about cooking burgers, not having done it THAT much it too cook them over medium heat, turning 3 or 4 times and squishing them down with a spatula to make sure that no pink runs out in the juices.

We topped the burgers with Colby-Jack cheese and Pepperjack.  You can alter this recipe by adding more spices to make it hotter, but I thought they were pretty spicy!  Good luck and enjoy!
