Bordertown Burgers With Spicy Onions

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce (I use Tabasco brand)
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 slices monterey jack pepper cheese
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the onions and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes), stirring often.

3. 3

   Add the Worcestershire sauce and 1 Tbsp of the chipotle sauce, stirring well to evenly coat the onions. Then remove the onions from the heat and keep warm.

4. 4

   Combine the ground beef, cilantro, salt, and 3 Tbsp of the chipotle sauce (Use 2 Tbsp for milder burgers) and shape into 4 burgers.

5. 5

   Grill over medium-high heat. (Approx. 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. 5 minutes per side for medium-well.).

6. 6

   Top each burger with a slice of pepper-jack cheese and grill until the cheese melts.

7. 7

   Place the burgers on toasted buns, and top with the spicy onions.

8. 8

   Add any burger toppings you’re fond of. I like a little bit of horseradish mayo on my burgers.
