Monterey Jack Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Combine shredded cheese, pepper sauce, ground beef, chopped onion, and salt and pepper.
• Mix well, let stand for about 10 minutes and then shape into 8 burgers.
• Grill for about 5 to 6 minutes per side or to desired doneness.
• Brush inside of buns with butter and place cut side down on grill to brown very lightly.
• Serve burgers on warm buns with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• On the grill or under the broiler, roast the jalapeno peppers whole, until they start to turn black. Once they are black on all sides, put into a brown paper bag, close and let sit 5 minutes. Remove from bag and peel off skin.
• Using a knife, slit open jalapenos, and take the seeds out and remove the stem. Cut jalapenos in half so you have 4 total slices of jalapeno. Set aside.
• In a bowl combine ground beef, 1 egg, ketchup, salt, garlic, and onions. You may also use any other seasonings you like in your hamburger mixture. Mix well.
• Form 8 thin patties. Take one slice of jalapeno and one slice of pepper jack cheese and place on 4 of the patties. Top each patty with remaining four patties and seal the edges together so the cheese doesn't leak out.
• Grill burgers or cook as usual until done. Your burgers will have a spicy, cheesey surprise in the middle of each one. Delicious!

Steps:

• Poblano Pickle Relish: Combine all of the ingredients for the relish in a medium bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours before serving.
• Avocado Mayonnaise: Place all of the ingredients for the mayonnaise in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Turkey Burgers: Heat your grill to high. Shape the ground turkey with your hands into 4 round patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Brush each burger on both sides with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and cooked completely through, about 4 minutes per side. Place a slice of cheese on each burger, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 1 minute longer to melt the cheese. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Top each burger with 1 tablespoon of the avocado mayonnaise and a few tablespoons of the relish. Serve the remaining avocado mayonnaise on the side if desired.
• Note: Bobby Flay cooks peppers and chiles right on the grill. Heat the grill to high. Brush peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. Then peel, halve, stem and seed them.

Steps:

• Combine the minced shallot, soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, coarse pepper, garlic powder, cumin and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
• Add ground turkey and mix well, but do not mash the meat to oblivion (no one likes tough turkey!)
• Stir in the Monterey Jack to evenly distribute.
• Shape into 4 patties, indenting the centres of each to fix the "burger bulge" (when they poof as they cook).
• Grill or broil until cooked through, about 6 minutes a side.
• Top each patty with 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon and serve on toasted buns.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine turkey, scallion, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder and pepper; mix well. Add cheese; stir to mix well. Shape turkey mixture into 4 equal patties.
• Heat indoor ridged grill sprayed with nonstick cooking spray; add bacon. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Transfer to plate; set aside.
• Wipe grill clean; arrange burgers on grill; cook 6-8 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
• To serve, layer rolls with burgers, bacon and tomato slices.
