Tex Mex Bacon Cheeseburgers With Chipotle Ketchup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• To Make The Chipotle Ketchup: In a saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes. (Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees . Place the 8 whole slices of bacon on a broiler pan. Bake in the oven until crisp, about 15 minutes.
• In a skillet, heat a drizzle of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, leaving 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan. Add the yellow onion, jalapenno and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool.
• In a bowl, combine the beef, chopped bacon, onion mixture, paprika, cumin, coriander and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties (making them thinner at the centers and thicker at the edges for even cooking). Add to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning once, for 8 minutes for medium doneness. Add 1 slice of each cheese on top during the last minute or two of cooking.
• Layer each roll bottom with a burger, 2 bacon slices, lettuce, red onion, Chipotle Ketchup and a roll top.

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.
