Ingredients

  • 4 lbs ground sirloin (80/20)
  • 8 ounces diced sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
  • 4 diced jalapenos
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 Pretzel rolls

Directions

  1. 1
    Dice cheese into small cubes (best done with cheese cold).
  2. 2
    Dice the jalapenos. (seeds and all if you want the heat).
  3. 3
    Coarsely chop the parsley.
  4. 4
    Mix cheese, jalapenos, parsley, Cajon seasoning with mayo.
  5. 5
    Mix mixture into to ground beef. Do not over work, but try to make sure the cheese is distributed evenly. Pat beef into 1/2 pound patties ( I use a patty press). Refrigerate.
  6. 6
    Melt butter and saute garlic. Spread garlic butter on both top and bottom of buns.
  7. 7
    Place burgers on hot grill. Rotate 90 degrees after 3-4 minutes. Turn over after 3-4 more and repeat. This will give you a great diamond grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 min while toasting the buns.
  8. 8
    Place the buttered buns on grill and lightly toast. Watch them closely or they will burn.
  9. 9
    Place burger on bun and add condiments. I like mine with just spicy mustard and pickles.
