Peppershire Burgers

Summer is dwindling down and the husband and I had yet to have a burger that we made here at home. We haven't had a BBQ here in Provo so we decided that needed to change.

Last night Chad and I bought a grill/griddle plate for our stove. I have wanted one for quite sometime so I could actually grill. We don't have an outdoor grill so this is the next best thing. Besides, I wanted one to do chicken and other things like that.

This all started with Chad wanting to have burgers. After getting the necessary items (grill plate included in that) we got down to making dinner! The burgers were an invention from Chad's brain, and by golly they were AMAZING! Way to go babe. Without further adieu, here is the husband to give you the down low on the Peppershire Burger.

Ingredients:
Makes 3 medium-large patties
1 lb Ground Beef
2 Cloves of Garlic
Worcestershire sauce
Onion powder
Salt and Pepper
Sweet Bell Pepper Relish (Deli style)
Pepper Jack Cheese
And of course, Hamburger buns!

Directions:
Put ground beef in a medium bowl. Before mixing with your fingers coat both sides of the beef with onion powder (to taste). Then, add the Worcestershire. Add enough to turn the beef from red to brown and so it is completely absorbed. Mince two cloves of garlic. Either mince by hand with a knife (the traditional way) it or use a zester like we did. You could also just buy minced garlic, like the stuff that is in the cans. It worked out great! Add your salt and pepper (again, to taste). Mix all ingredients evenly.

Next, make your patties. To prevent the patties from breaking apart, make a ball first and then flatten by shifting the ball from hand to hand. Once made, make an indent in the middle of the patty. This keeps all those good juices inside the burger. Grill to your liking of rareness or well-doneness.

Once patties are done, place on a preparing dish and grab the pepper relish and cheese. Spread first the pepper relish over the burger, as much or as little as you prefer. (We found that sweet bell pepper relish went along really well with the burger so we recommend that.) After spreading your pepper relish, add a square of pepper jack cheese, put it on your bun and enjoy!

This burger was great without condiments like mayo, ketchup or mustard because the pepper relish really did it for us. We recommend trying it without condiments first for the full flavor.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing honey! We had corn on the cob as a side and it was so great! I didn't do anything other than boil it and the corn was perfectly done with that sweet, salty, buttery, crisp bite you get when you have the perfect corn on the cob. We were well pleased with the whole dinner.

So what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy the rest of the summer/early fall weather with some wonderful food while it lasts! I know you won't regret it.
