Jalapeno Crunch Burgers

What you need:

• 2 lb. ground beef
• Seasonings to taste: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
• Pepper jack cheese slices
• 2 jalapenos, cut into rings - you can remove seeds to your liking
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:

1. Divide ground beef into 6 to 8 patties. Roll into a ball and then flatten between two pieces of wax paper. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
2. Cook burgers in your desired method - mine went straight to the cast iron! But you can grill them too. Top with pepper jack cheese in the last minute of cooking.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan to about 325*.
4. In a bowl, mix together flour and salt.
5. Dip jalapenos into the flour. Gently pressing to coat, if need be.
6. Fry jalapenos in oil until both sides are golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. Top burgers with jalapeno crunches and desired toppings.
