Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 batch whiskey honey onions
  • 1 lb beef shaped into 4 patties
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sharp cheddar cheese optional
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns
  • For the green chili:
  • 1 cup diced green chilis
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • OR 1/2 cup green chili sauce per burger

Instructions

  • In pan you used to make whiskey honey onions (DONT CLEAN PAN AFTER MAKING, it will give more flavor to the burgers), melt ghee over medium high heat.
  • Shape burgers into patties (I like to use a burger press).
  • Generously season burgers with salt and pepper.
  • Add burgers to pan when ghee is melted, and cook 5 minutes on each side.
  • When burgers are done to your liking, add a slice of cheese (if desired), and add lid to pan to melt cheese.
  • When cheese is melted, remove from pan.
  • Add green chilis to burger bun and place burger on top.
  • Garnish with onions, place bun on top, and serve immediately!
  • For the green chilis: sauté in pan with butter, garlic powder, and cumin until hot. Use as burger garnish; OR add sauce to burger bun.
