Jalapeno Crunch Burger

Jalapeno Crunch Burger The Hamburger: 1 lb lean ground beef Hamburger seasoning: 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder The Jalepeño Crunches: 2 jalepeños, cut into 1″ strips 1 egg 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup cooking oil (vegetable, peanut, or canola are best for this) The Burger: Divide your beef into quarters, roll into a ball. Place your beef balls on a sheet of wax paper. Place another sheet of wax paper over the top of the beef. Flatten by pushing a baking sheet down evenly on the patties. Remove wax paper. Season both sides of your patties with your seasoning mix. If you like your burgers medium-done, grill your patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Obviously, you can adjust the time depending on your liking. Let the patties rest for 30 seconds before serving. The Jalepeño Crunches: Beat your egg in a bowl and take the jalepeños for a swim. Mix your flour and salt together. After the jalepeños are fully egg-coated, dip them in the flour for a few seconds. When the oil is to a nice temperature (325° or when a toothpick bubbles when inserted), place your jalepeños in. Let them fry for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove your jalepeños from the oil, and let drain on a paper towel for a minute or so. Serve on your burger and enjoy!
