We saw them prepared on food network one day & knew we had to try them. They have a "secret sauce", pepper jack cheese, bacon, tomato & cole slaw.

I also never use a meat fork to turn beef or chicken, as it pierces the surface and lets the juices out.<BR/>And Arlene, thanks for the tips! I've often thought about adding a "binder" of sorts, but didn't want to turn them into a meatloaf burger, you know? I may consider the egg though.<BR/>Your Dad's Godzilla burgers sound AWESOME!<BR/>Sarah - I've only ever had blue cheese in salad dressing and I didn't like it, I may like it mixed into a burger like you do. I'll have to give that one a try sometime.<BR/>Thanks for all your comments and tips ladies! I love hearing from you.Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238241943284075861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677432860985644531.post-71620301326648001922008-07-31T11:24:00.000-07:002008-07-31T11:24:00.000-07:00One of our favorite burgers I got off of allrecipe...One of our favorite burgers I got off of allrecipes.com. They are blue cheese and jalepeno burgers. Very good!<BR/> <BR/>2 pounds ground beef <BR/>6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped <BR/>8 ounces crumbled blue cheese <BR/>2 tablespoons onion powder <BR/>2 tablespoons garlic powder <BR/>2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce <BR/>2 teaspoons salt, or to taste <BR/>4 slices Swiss cheese <BR/>4 hamburger buns, split <BR/> <BR/>DIRECTIONS<BR/>Preheat a grill for high heat. <BR/>In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, jalapeno peppers, blue cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, tamari and salt. Mix well using your hands. Pat lightly into 4 large fat patties. <BR/>Place patties on the grill, and cook for about 8 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, and cover the grill until the cheese melts. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.Sarah D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16615563953701614162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677432860985644531.post-44434620210996492022008-07-31T10:12:00.000-07:002008-07-31T10:12:00.000-07:00You know what?

So, he made some additions and now they work very well -- because men HAVE to grill their burgers, you know. It is the only way they can cook them, lol. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, he crushes up some potato chips (I think like a cup or so) and adds an egg to help everything bind together. And, he makes monster burgers; I think he uses 2 pounds of meat for four burgers! Seriously, they're humongous; it's ridiculous! Since we lived in Japan (my parents are still there), he named them Godzilla Burgers, lol! <BR/><BR/>Maybe you can try them out that way and do them up on the grill next time.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616597859669901083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677432860985644531.post-54432225360087956262008-07-31T07:56:00.000-07:002008-07-31T07:56:00.000-07:00I have to be honest, I love plain my burgers plain...I have to be honest, I love plain my burgers plain but I add sauted onions and mushrooms to them. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I learned a tip the other day from a radio program. The chef said it wasn't a good idea to press the burgers while cooking on the grill because the meat juices are what keep the burgers moist. If you press out the juices, then the burger will be dry. I tried it and he was right.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267674745837713337noreply@blogger.com
