Tailgating Burgers

Recipe #391622 | 35 min | 20 min prep | add private note

Here's a great recipe for a burger to wow the tailgating crowd, or for any gathering of friends/family. The topping has tangy zing to it, and the hamburger mixture is made with some ingredients you don't usually see in the mix. Aged cheddar or a smoked provolone cheese will add the final touch to this new twist on the standard hamburger. Goes great with baked beans, corn, or any of your usual tailgating side dishes.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Burger

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup crushed  potato chip, crumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 ounce hidden valley original ranch dressing mix
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Topping

  • 1/3 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeno jelly
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced jalapeno peppers
  • good quality hamburger buns

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in medium saucepan until hot. Add the diced onions and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool.

Great tasting burger. I used pepper jack cheese to try and carry on the jalapeno theme... I was out of provolone. I think both would work well with the burger and sauce. Great recipe for Sunday Pro Football. Thanks for posting. Made for TYM tag.
