Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chipotle Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood-smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños and fry them in the same skillet until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Grill the Burgers

    Form the ground beef into 4 (1/2 lb) patties. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of aged cheddar cheese on each burger to melt.

  6. 6

    Toast the Brioche Rolls

    Spread minced garlic on the brioche rolls and toast them on the grill until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche roll, place the burger patty with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon, fried jalapeños, and onion straws. Spread chipotle aioli on the top half of the roll and place it on the burger.
