holy toledo! burger

[Rick's Tropical Delight]

tired of the same ole burger?
try the new RTD "holy toledo! burger"! :biggrin:

- start with 1 pound ground round 85/15
- form two patties, 1/2 pound each
- press down in the middle to make a reservoir for onions and some dry rub. i used dizzy pig cow lick on these
- toss them on the mini egg with some jack daniels oak barrel chips with the egg stabilized at about 400

- do not flip or you'll lose the onions. the bottom forms a nice crust against the heat while the top basks in the radiated heat from the dome and the onions start to caramelize.
- close the dampers a bit and the egg comes to 350
- spoon on a little blues hog honey mustard bbq sauce

- add some cheese

- add kaiser bun with some ketchup and the first jalapeno from the garden

holy toledo! :biggrin:

Nice! Are these the jalapenos from the chipotle garden? And I promise I won't mess with these pics. Maybe some other time. :wink:

Can't beat the taste of fresh jalapenos. Every time I go to one of those burrito places around here, the conversation goes like this:

"....and some fresh jalapenos"

"...little more..."

"...little more..."

"...little more..."

"thanks!"

[HHpepper]

what was the cook time?

 

[Rick's Tropical Delight]

i can still feel the jalapeno on my tongue...
just enuf heat :biggrin:

 

[Rick's Tropical Delight]

what was the cook time?

a little longer than was needed at about 40 minutes. those where pretty thick burgers so maybe about 30 minutes would have been just right. i shut the dampers completely at about 30 minutes... the moisture from the onions kept the top nice and juicy while the bottom had a nice crust

Shuweeeet. Looking good!

Man that is some good looking grub... Rick, you continue to impress...

and while I know this may be a sensitive subject at the moment, your pictures are just incredible. As a amateur photog that has been thru many many rolls of film, (For all you young'uns FILM is that stuff we used back in the middle ages before cars and cable tv and such...) your pictures are always so very well composed and completely spot on. I see pictures in Gourmet and the other food magazines that are SET UP and have nothing on yours... Well done Sir!
