Tex Mex Bacon Cheeseburger With Chipotle Ketchup Recipes

Steps:

• For the chipotle mayonnaise: Remove peppers from can (you may want to use rubber gloves if sensitive to peppers). Carefully split open and scrape out seeds. Finely chop peppers; set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped chipotle peppers and mayonnaise; set aside covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
• For the burgers: In a mixing bowl, stir to combine ground beef, chili seasoning, 2 teaspoons chopped chipotles, and beer. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape into 4 patties slightly larger than the buns; set aside covered in refrigerator if not cooking immediately.
• Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Brush and oil grill before cooking.
• Season burgers with salt and pepper and place on hot oiled grill. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Place cheese slices on burgers 2 to 3 minutes before burgers are done.

Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a skillet, add chopped bacon and cook to crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving 2 tablespoons drippings in the pan. Cook onions, jalapeños and garlic in the drippings to soften, 7-8 minutes. Let cool. Place meat in bowl, add chopped bacon, cooled onions and jalapeños, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Form 4 patties and cook in the skillet over medium-high heat 8-12 minutes, turning once, for medium to well-done. Melt 1 slice of each cheese over each burger during the last minute or 2. Place burgers on buns, top with bacon slices, lettuce, onions and chipotle ketchup.
