These were okay but they were a lot of hassle and not the wow factor I was expecting. The only thing I changed is that I didn’t use the egg. The main reason being that they would have been way too wet to form patties. The other reason is that it would have given them a meatloaf texture which I despise in burgers. These shrunk considerably so if I were to make again, I’d only make 6 patties.
This was a tasty burger. Next time I will add the chilies and cheese to the top of the burgers just because my husband loves cheese topped burgers.
Incredible Recipe. Thank you Teri. This has been our go to burger recipe for three years. I enjoy mixing in some chorizo once in a while, I also buy cubed high temp pepper jack cheese.
We NEVER have frozen patties or plain burgers anymore. We make these every time we fire up the grill, and even my kids that have eaten chicken nuggets for years, have switched over to these burgers. I intentionally make more than I need so that I can freeze a few patties for spur of the moment barbecues and burgers at later times.
Kids loved it. Its a redo!
My husband and I made them and loved them! I think if you put too much egg in there it could taste a little bit like meatloaf. Maybe more worcestershire sauce and less egg but we loved them just as it was and didn’t have a bun nor did we put anything on top. We ate it with a salad.
we really enjoyed these burgers.. unfortunately it’s way too hot to be outside grilling so we just pan fried them.. im sure grilling is the way to go with these burgers for that smokey component.. so always using what we have on hand we made the following modifications.. ground turkey for the ground beef.. provolone for the muenster.. and deveined/seeded jalapeno for the anaheim chiles.. scaled this down to two patties so we left out the egg.. we couldn’t really detect the chili powder and bf ate his with tabasco sauce.. either way it was tasty.. ty for the recipe
These burgers were to die for! I made them for a family BBQ they were such a big hit that I will make them every time we grill out.
Excellent burgers! We may add some jalepenos next time, otherwise made just as written & they turned out great! Thanks for posting!
I was trying to figure out if I liked these or not, when my husband looked at me and said “These taste a little like meatloaf, don’t they” – and he was right. I guess it was the combination of garlic, sausage, egg, and the cheese turned it from a hamburger into a meatloaf type burger. It tasted good, just not what we were expecting …I topped with steak sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles – maybe if we had used BBQ sauce. Thank you so much for recipe….
Fantastic burgers, I would love to hear from the author how he serves them:Mayo,mustard, bacon etc. etc.!!! Thanks a lot, Ramon
I made these burgers for our tailgating party and they were a HUGE hit!! my husband and his friends loved them so much that I now have to make them every Sunday!! I used double the garlic and sweet onions instead of red. Thanks for the great recipe!!!
I have to admit, I give these 5 stars because this is my recipe! My original recipe calls for cubing the cheese, not shredding it, so it’s your call. Enjoy:-) UPDATE: Ramon wanted to know how I serve these–I like ranch dressing on mine, my husband prefers Cholula hot sauce on his, and the kids put ketchup on theirs–I have also made these with cooked, crumbled bacon inside, but you can do whatever you want! I usually do use more garlic in mine, too, but most people don’t like a lot of garlic, so I toned it down for this recipe.
