Jalapeno Sliders

To celebrate Memorial Day, I wanted to share a new grilling recipe we created that's great for company! I have to give 100% of the credit for this recipe to Jason. It was totally his idea! We call them "sliders" instead of "burgers" because we make 4 or 5 patties out of 1 pound of ground beef. To give them a little extra kick, Jason seeded a fresh jalapeno, diced it up, and mixed it into the beef. We just love spicy food and so we add jalapenos to just about everything! As I'm sure you know, all of the heat of a jalapeno comes from the seeds. So if you remove all of the seeds, the jalapeno tastes similar to a bell pepper. We wanted to have a hint of spice so along with the diced jalapeno, we added a few of the seeds back into the beef.

We marinate the ground beef for about 15-20 minutes in the following:
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Garlic Powder
- Tony's
- Montreal Steak Seasoning (LOVE this stuff!!!!)
- Black Pepper

Then he grilled the burgers until they were fully cooked. Here is a picture of the patties right off the grill:



You can see the pieces of jalapeno and the seeds! These sliders are so good- try them and you will see!
